Taking Anabolic Steroids After A Sport Injury
**Anabolic Steroids – A Quick Reference Guide**
| Topic | Key Points |
|-------|------------|
| **What are anabolic steroids?** | Synthetic derivatives of testosterone designed to promote muscle growth, increase protein synthesis and enhance nitrogen retention. They act on androgen receptors in skeletal muscle and bone, stimulating hypertrophy and strength gains. |
| **Medical uses (approved indications)** | • Anabolic‑androgenic therapy for hypogonadism<br>• Certain types of anemia<br>• Cachexia management (e.g., HIV/AIDS, cancer)<br>• Severe burns or trauma where protein loss is extreme |
| **Commonly abused compounds** | • Oxymetholone (Anadrol)<br>• Trenbolone<br>• Boldenone<br>• Nandrolone decanoate<br>• Dianabol (Methandrostenolone) |
| **Typical performance‑enhancing protocols** | • "Stack" of a strong anabolic with an aromatase inhibitor or anti‑estrogen to control estrogenic side effects<br>• Pulse cycling: 4–6 weeks on, followed by 2–3 weeks off<br>• Use of post‑cycle therapy (PCT) such as clomiphene or tamoxifen to restore natural testosterone production |
| **Common adverse events** | • Hepatotoxicity from oral agents
