WINSTROL 50

Stanozolol Tablets

PRODUCT NAME & PACKAGING

Brand Name: WINSTROL 50
Generic Name: Stanozolol
Strength & Packaging: 50 tablets per tub | 50 mg per tablet

Stanozolol is an oral anabolic-androgenic steroid. Historical U.S. Winstrol labeling described the branded oral product as 2 mg stanozolol per tablet, so a 50 mg tablet should be presented as a manufacturer-specific strength, not a standard historical U.S.-labeled presentation.

DESCRIPTION

WINSTROL 50 contains stanozolol, a synthetic steroid related to testosterone. Pharmacology references describe it as an orally active, 17α-alkylated derivative of dihydrotestosterone (DHT) with anabolic and androgenic properties.

INDICATIONS

Historical labeling for Winstrol (stanozolol) states that it is indicated prophylactically to decrease the frequency and severity of attacks of hereditary angioedema (HAE). Drugs.com likewise describes stanozolol as used for hereditary angioedema involving episodes of swelling of the face, extremities, genitals, bowel wall, and throat.

DOSAGE & ADMINISTRATION

Route: Oral administration

Historical Winstrol labeling states that dosing for hereditary angioedema should be individualized, with a labeled starting regimen of 2 mg three times daily, then gradual reduction to the lowest effective maintenance dose after clinical response. Because this product is listed as a 50 mg tablet, the safest catalog wording is:

“Administer only under the direction of a licensed healthcare professional and in accordance with the manufacturer’s labeling, applicable regulations, and patient-specific clinical judgment.”

MECHANISM OF ACTION

Stanozolol belongs to the anabolic steroid class. Historical labeling states that anabolic steroids are synthetic derivatives of testosterone and may suppress pituitary gonadotropic function. The Winstrol clinical pharmacology section also notes that, in small studies of hereditary angioedema, stanozolol increased serum C1 inhibitor (C1 INH) and C4 levels. Separately, IUPHAR describes stanozolol as a strong activator of androgen receptor-induced protein synthesis and erythropoietin production.

PRECAUTIONS

Use requires careful medical oversight. Historical labeling and current drug references warn about serious liver injury, adverse lipid changes such as lower HDL and higher LDL, increased sensitivity to anticoagulants, and contraindications including pregnancy, male breast cancer, known or suspected prostate cancer, female breast carcinoma with hypercalcemia, and nephrosis/nephritic nephrosis. Stanozolol is also listed as a Schedule III controlled substance in U.S. references.

SIDE EFFECTS

Reported adverse effects include acne, insomnia, nausea, vomiting, ankle swelling/edema, and changes in libido. Historical labeling also lists cholestatic jaundice, liver-function abnormalities, gynecomastia, testicular atrophy/oligospermia in males, and virilizing effects in females such as hoarseness or deepening of the voice, hirsutism, clitoral enlargement, and menstrual irregularities.

STORAGE

Historical Winstrol labeling states: Store at controlled room temperature, 15°C to 30°C (59°F to 86°F).
