(Redirected from Primobolan)

Etymology[edit | edit source]
The term "Metenolone acetate" is derived from the chemical structure of the compound. "Metenolone" is a derivative of dihydrotestosterone, and "acetate" refers to the acetic acid ester that is attached to the metenolone molecule.
Pharmacology[edit | edit source]
Metenolone acetate is a synthetic androgen and anabolic steroid. It is a derivative of dihydrotestosterone, which is a more potent form of testosterone. The drug is administered orally and is metabolized by the liver. It has a high bioavailability and is not subject to first-pass metabolism.
Medical uses[edit | edit source]
Metenolone acetate is used in the treatment of anemia due to bone marrow failure. It stimulates the production of red blood cells, which helps to improve the oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood. This can help to alleviate the symptoms of anemia, such as fatigue and weakness.
Side effects[edit | edit source]
Like all anabolic steroids, metenolone acetate can have a number of side effects. These can include acne, hair loss, increased body hair growth, and deepening of the voice. In women, it can cause virilization, which is the development of male characteristics. It can also have negative effects on cholesterol levels and can increase the risk of cardiovascular disease.
