Hello, so as the title says, i´d like to know if some one could please shed some light on this thing i can´t understand about injectable wistrol.
I live in an european country in which we had Winstrol depot (zambon labs) in pharmacies up until around 2012, i myself was able to get a hold of a lot of it back in the day and with all my ignorance on the AAS field at that moment i was using it by it self nothing else following what the drug leaflet said and i was pinning 1 amp every 1 week (drug leaflet stated that 1 amp every 2 weeks), now i remember i gained a lot of strength and put on some mass i was feeling awesome, it obviously supressed my HPT axis and i ended up feeling like crap after a few weeks but this is besides the point.
My question is, why if injectable stanozolol has a half life of only 24 hours, why was it indicated to inject every 2 weeks ??? everywhere i see in bodybuilding forums it is said that it has to be pinned daily, what is the logic behind it?
The brand name was called Winstrol Depot, the name depot means slow release. so which one is it ??
If the one i get from UGLs is the same, why does someone has to pin daily if the recomended way using it was every 2 weeks ??
Thanks in advance
Just use common sense, the half-life dicates how often you dose. Take Cialis for example, a 36 hour half half, yet it’s dosed daily or every other day at higher doses.
I’m talking about im injection every 2 weeks, it’s what drug leaflet stated as recommended use, still the same, probably has something to do with some “crystals” that needed to be broken down or something lie that i read somewhere
Your example does not apply since cialis is recommended to be taken every 24-36 hours since its have life is 17,5 hours not 36 hrs.
Any how back to my point
The leaflet on my testosterone cypionate says every 2-4 weeks, but we know that’s nonsense. Medical use and real-life use don’t always line up
No man sorry, not looking for a bro science response, i am just trying to find out the logic behind it, i understand FDA did not aprove winstrol nor primo, nor provi nor deca, prety much only testosterone in the states, hence why americans would never understand what pharma grade steroids would feel like or the research behind them, as i mentioned before, it was sold in my local pharmacy until 2012, so it was discontinued not too long ago, had the oppurtunity of getting it straight from the pharmacy and while i was on only 50 mg every week i packed some gains, strength, libido and sense of well being, i was feeling awesome, gonna post the leaflet, it is in spanish but it is pretty straight forward.
All i see in every BB forum is 20 to 50 mg daily either injectable or oral, makes no difference, no wonder why it is consider as highly toxic.
Your example is even worse since testosterone cypionate was indeed made to be injected every 2-4 weeks, people noticed that pinning more frequently will give steadier levels but that is still debateable.
I started this topic because i already am on TRT, 120 mg of testosterone enanthate per week splitted into 2 shots, if i add only 20 mg of winstrol with each shot i feel amazing and i swear i can feel its effect through out the whole week and with such a low dose i don´t get any toxicity but at the same time i can´t understand why it is recomended to be used every day even if it is injectable.
The leaflet clearly states Oral tablet to be taken 2 or 3 pills per day
But injectable it clearly states one 50 mg amp every 2 or 3 weeks.
It also says WINSTROL DEPOT is an aqueous solution particularly studied for prolonged absorption.
You asked a question and got answers. If the leaflet was bible why are you asking. You have your perceived answer. As others have said. Half life of a product is what determines optimal injection frequency. Can you do it differently? Sure but what your doing prob won’t be optimal in a bodybuilding program.
My answer was full of logic. Sorry it wasn’t enough tho. Best of luck on your search
Point of gammar: Americans is capitalized.
Just to educate you a bit on USA AAS history. I have a 1979 PDR (Physicians Desk Reference). Included are anabolics:
- Deca-Durabolin
- Dianabol
- Durabolin
- Os-Cal Mone
- Winstrol
And androgens:
- Anadrol-50
- Anadroid-5, 10, and 25
- Delatestryl
- Halotestin
and some others
Deca-Durabolin, for your information, had a recommended dosage: “For general anabolic effects in adults, the average dosage recommended is 50 to 100 mg every 3 to 4 weeks.” For severe cases they recommended 100 to 200 mg weekly.
I only took USA pharmaceutical grade AAS in the 1970’s and much of the 1980’s. Granted in the late 1980’s and 1990’s we got are pharmaceutical grade AAS from Europe due to the government crack down on steroids…
We dosed by what you call bro-science. Because we knew much more than the medical community. I took conservative doses by today’s standards. For one, I never exceeded 200mg/wk of Deca.
You asked specifically about what was injectable Winstrol. The only injectable Winstrol available at that time was Winstrol-V (50mg per ml). The V stood for veterinary. We had no dosing information, but we typically took 50mg weekly injections.
