Anastrozole is an anti-estrogenic drug developed for the treatment of advanced breast cancer in women. Specifically, this agent is the first in a newer class of third-generation selective oral aromatase inhibitors. It acts by blocking the enzyme aromatase, subsequently blocking the production of estrogen in the body. Since many forms of breast cancer cells are
ARATEST is a new Mexican veterinarian steroid that has been getting a lot of attention from steroid users everywhere. There are three types: Aratest 2500, 500, and 250. Aratest 2500 is the most popular of the three containing 200mg of enanthate and 50 mg propionate per ml. Brand name Aratest This new steroid makes a
Darbepoetin alfa is a synthetic derivative of the human erythropoietin protein. It also has the same pharmacological action as recombinant human erythropoietin (epoetin alfa). In the body, erythropoietin is normally released by the kidneys in response to hypoxia (low blood oxygen levels). This in turn triggers bone marrow to increase red blood cell production. As
Arachidonic acid is an omega-6 essential fatty acid that serves as the principle building block for the synthesis of dienolic prostaglandins (such as PGE2 and PGF2a). These prostaglandins are integral to protein turnover and muscle accumulation, and have such important activities as increasing blood flow to the muscles (pumps), increasing local IGF-1 and insulin sensitivity
Testosterone suspension is an injectable preparation containing testosterone (no ester), usually in a water base. Among bodybuilders, “suspension” is known to be an extremely potent mass agent. It is often said to be the most powerful injectable steroid available, producing very rapid gains in muscle mass and strength. This is largely due to the very
Testosterone cyclohexylpropionate, or CHP for short, is a slow acting injectable ester of the primary male androgen testosterone. The cyclohexylpropionate ester is very similar in structure to the cypionate (cyclopentylpropionate) ester, different only by the inclusion of a cyclohexane ring (6 carbon atoms) instead of cyclopentane ring (5 carbon atoms). Given the close similarity of
AndroGel is a transdermal hydroalcoholic testosterone gel that contains a 1% concentration of testosterone by weight. It was originally released in 2.5 gram and 5-gram sachets, equating to a total per-application testosterone dose of 25 mg and 50 mg respectively. The AndroGel prescribing information states that the product has a transdermal bioavailability of approximately 10%.
Androderm is a testosterone delivery system that utilizes an adhesive “patch” to deliver the hormone transdermally. The testosterone itself is dissolved in an alcoholic gel similar to AndroGel, except here the gel is contained in a protected external drug reservoir. This design provides approximately double the hormone bioavailability of AndroGel, and also severely limits the
Andriol is an oral testosterone preparation that contains 40 mg of testosterone undecanoate (in an oil base) in a soft gelatin capsule. This drug is very different than most oral anabolic steroids, which are usually c-17 alpha alkylated to survive first pass metabolism through the liver. Instead, esterification and suspension in oil allows the testosterone
Andractim is a prescription steroid preparation that contains the potent androgenic steroid dihydrotestosterone. This product comes in the form of a transdermal gel, typically containing 2.5% dihydrotestosterone by weight in an 80gram tube. As with Androgel, roughly 10% of the active steroid will make it into circulation with each application.This would equate to 80 doses
