METHANDRIOL
DIPROPIONATE
Substance: methylandrostenediol dipropionate
Methandriol Dipropionate (M.D.) is a form
of the water-dissolved Methandriol but it remains effective for a longer
period of time. On the one hand, M.D. can be dissolved in oil for
injection purposes and, on the other hand, it is produced in tablet form
since it is also effective when taken orally M.D. has a strong anabolic
and andro-genic component so that it is suitable for the buildup of
strength and muscle mass. The effect can be compared to a cross between
Deca-Durabolin and Testosterone enanthate. Like testosterone it con-
tributes to a gain in both strength and muscle but does not retain more
water than Deca-Durabolin. The best results can be obtained, however, if
M.D. is not taken alone but in combination with an- other steroid. This
is because M.D. is able to magnify the effects of other steroid
compounds. It does this by increasingly sensitizing the androgenic
receptors of the muscle cell, allowing a higher amount of the steroid
molecules of the additionally taken steroids to be ab- sorbed by the
receptors. This also explains why injectable M.D. is only available
today as a combination compound with an additional steroid substance.
Injectable M.D. is only available in the Australian veterinary steroids
Drive, Spectriol, Geldabol, and Filibol Forte so that procurement of the
compound is difficult. The few athletes using this drug report good
strength gains, a solid muscle gain, and low water retention. The
combination steroids aromatize only slightly so, when taking only M.D.,
the use of antiestrogens is perhaps ap-propriate. The injectable form is
only slightly toxic.
The usual dosage for athletes is 100 mg every 2-3 days. In Europe only
the oral form of M.D. is available. Also in this case it is benefi-cial
to combine M.D. with another steroid, preferably an injectable one. The
normal daily dose is 40-60 mg and is usually taken in 2-3 individual
doses spread over & day The tablets are usually taken for only 4-6
weeks since the effect decreases quickly, thus requiring higher dosages.
They are also I 7-alpha alkylated so even a low dos-age and a short
intake can be damaging to the liver. Because of its androgenic effect
women rarely use M.D. Possible side effects of the tablet form can be
elevated levels of liver toxins, gastrointestinal pain, acne,
gynecomastia, increased aggressiveness, and high blood pressure.
