Product desciption
Methandienone tablets contain the active substance methandienone, a derivative of testosterone with slightly reduced androgenic properties. Its anabolic effect is more pronounced than androgenic. Therefore, methandienone increases protein synthesis, incites the formation of bone basic material, a necessary condition for increasing skeletal calcium reserves, and prevents calcium and nitrogen removal from the kidneys. The anabolic effect provokes increased appetite, weight gain and an improvement in the general condition of the body.
Methandienone can be used during therapy in pathologies accompanied by protein synthesis disorders, cachexia of various genesis, injuries, burns, pre- and
postoperative infections, after infectious diseases and irradiation, muscular dystrophy, insufficient weight, pathological weakness, osteoporosis, renal failure, bone damage process, negative nitrogen balance in corticosteroid therapy, hypo- and aplastic anemia, as an auxiliary substance in the treatment of tuberculosis, hepatitis, osteomyelitis, and asthma.
