Primobolan
is a well-known drug in the world of bodybuilding not only because it
is excellent for cutting, it is also one of the rare androgen-based
steroids that is
mild enough to be used by women and beginners.
Primobolan
was first introduced by the company Schering. It is a
dihydrotestosterone-derivative that does not interact with the
aromatase enzyme. It had a double bond that inhibits it from binding
with the androgen receptor.
Primobolan
has several structural alterations that are responsible for only
minimal
Primobolan
side effects.
Primobolan side effects
are mild amidst the steroid being a dihydrotestosterone derivative.
Since
Primobolan
does not convert to estrogen even at high doses, you can expect that
you will have a well-cut ripped body. On top of that, you won't have to
worry about developing systemic diseases such as high blood pressure
due to water retention or, for males, gynecomastia or the development
of abnormal breast tissue.
The most common
Primobolan
side effects that occur are those caused by this steroid's
androgenicity, which I should stress is rather weak compared to other
anabolic androgenic steroids. Rarely, women experience one of these
Primobolan side effects through
virilization. Virilization is manifested as increase in
body hair, changes in the voice, menstrual irregularities and clitoral
hypertrophy. Some of these changes are permanent even if you had
stopped using Primobolan. Fortunately, a dose of as high as 50 to 100
mg a week is sufficient enough for the steroid's action to take place
and at the same time, limit virilizing Primobolan side effects in
women. Other Primobolan side effects due to androgenicity occur in both
men and women. This includes acne formation not only on the face but
also, and more commonly, on the chest and the back. Acne can be treated
by visiting your dermatologist or applying
Accutane
on the lesions. Some might also experience androgen-related hair loss.
This
Primobolan side
effect is manifested by the M shape receding hairline in
males and thinning of hair in females. There are many treatments out
there that are used to address this
Primobolan
side effect effectively and these include application of Minoxidil and
Ketoconazole. Primobolan side effects also include those without any
particular treatments such as increase in aggressiveness, insomnia, and
increase in sweating even when doing minimal activities. These
Primobolan side effects often disappear when the steroid has been
stopped.
Primobolan is not a
17-alpha alkylated compound unlike other anabolic
steroids. It is a
1-methlated
steroid that is relatively mild on the liver. Long term
use of this drug, however, can lead to Primobolan side effects of
changes in liver enzyme values although these levels return to normal
upon discontinuation of the steroid.
To recap, Primobolan side effects are rare and if present, these
Primobolan side effects
are mild even at high doses. You won't suffer from any life-threatening
effects present in other steroids. It is the lack of Primobolan side
effects that make it a very effective drug to combine with other
anabolic androgenic steroids including the heavier, more dangerous ones.
