ANADROL (oxymetholone) was initially deve­ loped as a compound to help people with anemia, and has since been used very successfully to aid people who are suffering from many other diseases where weight loss is a concern. Thus, it is clearly an effective agent for promoting weight gain, increasing appetite, gaining strength, and increasing Red Blood Cell count. And, as with most Anabolic/Androgenic Steroids (AAS), it has its downsides as well. Anadrol will inhibit your body's natural produc­ tion of hormones (testosterone, etc), will ne­ gatively affect your blood lipid profile, can cause water retention, is notorious for causing headaches, and is also highly liver toxic (in fact, it has the worst reputation for hepatoxicity out of all steroids). Paradoxically, although one the benefits is that it can be used to stimulate weight
gain through increasing appetite, taking too much may actually inhibit your appetite!
