Anadrol-50 dosage

Interesting read...I went on Rxlist.com to look up Anadrol -50 and found this....

"ANADROL-50 is indicated in the treatment of anemias caused by deficient red cell production.

The recommended daily dose in children and adults is 1-5 mg/kg body weight perday. The usual effective dose is 1-2 mg/kg/day but higher doses may be required, and the dose should be individualized. Response is not often immediate, and a minimum trial of three to six months should be given."

So they recommend anywhere from 90mg/day to 454mg/day for up to 6 months? I'm not doubting it's liver toxicity because I've had an LFT done after a 3 weeks of use and my liver values were above normal....but 3 - 6 months? Wow...that is a heavy dose for a long period of time.

Could this be why it's not used for anemia any more?

That does seem like a heavy dose. I usually ran 50mg a day for 4 weeks.

Didn't know that. Can't be that common though, is it?

well, it's on that website. I went on there origionally to look up he plasma half-life of the drug....because they usually do for almost every other one on there but they didn't.

You can look up winstrol , halo, methy, Test Cyp, Testoderm.....all that stuff that's still produced and for sale in the US.

I couldn't believe it either. They said recommended daily dosage of up to 5mg per kg of body weight????? That is nuts!
