Injectable Steroids

What are Injectable Steroids?

Injectable steroids are medications that are manufactured as different forms of testosterone, are derived from a compound similar to testosterone, and have similar effects on the body. Termed Anabolic Androgenic Steroids (AAS), the main functions of these drugs are Anabolic, i.e., tissue and muscle building, and Androgenic, i.e., aiding the development of male sexual characteristics. 

Thus, these medications find uses in treating disorders that are caused by low testosterone levels (male hypogonadism) or an excess of estrogen (breast cancer) in the body. Further, they can also be used to treat ailments like aplastic anemia, wasting diseases, and osteoporosis.

In addition, these medications are popular in the sports and bodybuilding industry. By promoting protein synthesis and nitrogen retention, these injectable steroids help bodybuilders get a defined, toned physique. They also reduce the recovery time needed between workout sessions, thus allowing for intense training sessions.

Note: Injectable anabolic steroids should be taken only with a valid prescription from a licensed doctor.

Uses of Injectable Steroids

The common uses of Injectable Anabolic Steroids are as follows:

1. Male Hypogonadism

Low testosterone levels can lead to male hypogonadism. Here, anabolic steroids can help bring up the testosterone levels in the body to counter the symptoms and effects.

2. Breast Cancer

By binding to the estrogen receptors, Anabolic steroids can be used to treat estrogen receptor (ER) positive breast cancer. This lowers the estrogen levels and stops the cancer cells from growing.

3. Endometriosis

Some anabolic steroids can bind to the estrogen receptors in the body and reduce estrogen levels. Thus, they can prevent the growth of endometriotic lesions.

4. Osteoporosis

In post-menopausal women, the use of anabolic steroids can stimulate bone formation and increase bone density. This helps reduce the risk of fractures in patients suffering from osteoporosis.

5. Aplastic Anemia

Patients suffering from Aplastic Anemia are unable to produce red blood cells (RBCs) sufficiently. Using anabolic steroids can stimulate the formation of RBCs and aid the remission of Aplastic Anemia.

6. Wasting Diseases

In patients suffering from muscle wasting due to certain forms of cancer and AIDS, anabolic steroids can help combat muscle loss.

7. Bodybuilding

Since anabolic androgenic steroids act in a manner similar to testosterone, they help bodybuilders gain muscle rapidly. Further, if used during a cutting cycle, they help lose excess fat while retaining muscle strength.

8. Muscle Definition and Endurance

Anabolic androgenic steroids increase protein synthesis and nitrogen retention. This, in turn, helps build muscles and also improves endurance. Thus, it allows people to take up intense training regimens and improve their strength and athletic performance.

Benefits of Injectable Steroids

By opting for injectable steroids, you gain the following:

• Targeted and precise drug delivery.
• Administered by medical professionals
• Have little to no dietary restrictions.
• The dosage can be spread out between multiple sessions.

Medical Dosage

The dosage for the injectable steroid will vary as per the medication that you have been prescribed. Further, your doctor will prescribe you a dose based on your physical and medical requirements. They will also mention the frequency of taking the medication.

It is important to stick to this dosage since going over the prescribed limit may lead to severe side effects and a potential overdose. Additionally, it is important to visit a medical practitioner when it is time for your dosage. Do not self-administer injectable steroids. 

The modes of administration of injectable steroids are either subcutaneous (given under the skin), intradermal (given into the adipose tissue), or intramuscular (injected into muscles- commonly glutes and thighs). 

Dietary Instructions

Unlike oral pills, injectable steroids do not come with strict dietary restrictions. The doctor can administer steroid injections even if the patient is on an empty stomach. 

However, if you are taking anabolic steroids to achieve a certain body image, it is best to consult with a dietitian. By accounting for your fitness goals and calorie requirement, they will help lay out an effective diet plan that will help you make the most of the steroids.
