Clostebol
Clostebol is a steroid that is a derivative of testosterone. It is a weak anabolic steroid that was used by athletes. It is a synthetic steroid and is orally active.
History[edit | edit source]
Clostebol was first synthesized in 1938 and was marketed for medical use in the 1960s. It was used to promote muscle growth in patients with muscle wasting conditions. However, it was later banned by most sports organizations due to its potential for abuse.
Medical uses[edit | edit source]
Clostebol was used in the treatment of conditions that cause muscle wasting, such as cancer and AIDS. It was also used to promote weight gain in patients who are underweight. However, it is no longer used for these purposes due to the risk of side effects and the availability of safer alternatives.
Side effects[edit | edit source]
The side effects of clostebol include liver damage, heart disease, and masculinization in women. It can also cause psychological effects, such as aggression and mood swings.
Legal status[edit | edit source]
Clostebol is classified as a controlled substance in many countries, including the United States. It is illegal to possess, sell, or use clostebol without a prescription.
