Stenbolone is an anabolic steroid, a synthetic derivative of testosterone, which was developed by the international pharmaceutical company Syntex Corporation. It is a potent androgen and anabolic, stronger than testosterone and nandrolone, but has been discontinued and is not available as a prescription drug.

History[edit | edit source]

Syntex Corporation, a multinational pharmaceutical company, developed Stenbolone in the 1960s. Despite its potent androgenic and anabolic properties, it was discontinued and is no longer available as a prescription drug.

Pharmacology[edit | edit source]

As an anabolic steroid, Stenbolone has similar effects to testosterone. It promotes the growth of muscle tissue and increases the production of red blood cells. However, unlike testosterone, it does not convert to estrogen, which can cause side effects such as water retention and gynecomastia.

Side Effects[edit | edit source]

The side effects of Stenbolone are similar to those of other anabolic steroids. These can include acne, hair loss, increased aggression, and changes in mood. Long-term use can lead to serious health problems such as liver damage, heart disease, and infertility.

Legal Status[edit | edit source]

In many countries, including the United States, Stenbolone is classified as a controlled substance. This means it is illegal to buy, sell, or possess without a prescription.
