How do you use anabolic steroids?




Anabolic steroids can be taken orally, by injection or in creams or gels. Dosages prescribed by doctors will depend on the medical condition, its severity and age of the patient.

In the illegal use of this group of steroids dosages are highly variable and can be 10 to 40, sometimes a 100 times higher than the recommended dose.

Two or more oral and injectable types of anabolic steroids are often used. This is called ‘stacking’. There is a belief that two or more interacting steroids produced an improved result.
So called ‘pyramid’ doses of anabolic steroids are also used in 6 to 12 week cycles where the ‘stacked’ steroids begin with smaller doses that slowly increase, reach a peak then slowly decrease and stop. There is a drug free period after this before the cycle starts again.

It is believed by arranging the doses and drugs in this way that the body is allowed time to adjust and avoid the well documented side effects so the body can return to normal production of hormones. This belief has not been scientifically verified so relies on the illegal users ability to report accurately on their experiences. We do know that steroid abuse can effect that ability.
