Primobolan Overview

Primobolan, also known as Methenolone, is a popular anabolic steroid available in injectable and oral forms. Injectable Primobolan is Methenolone Enanthate, while the oral form is Methenolone Acetate. Known for its mild nature, Primobolan is favored for cutting cycles due to its weak anabolic properties, making it less suitable for bulking.

History and Usage

Introduced in 1960, Primobolan was initially marketed by Squibb under the brand name Nibal Depot. After the rights were sold to Schering in West Germany, it was rebranded as Primobolan. Despite being withdrawn from many markets in the 1990s due to anti-steroid sentiment, Primobolan remains FDA-approved, with limited availability in select countries.

Medical Uses

Primobolan is prescribed for conditions involving muscle wasting, severe weight loss, infections, and to counteract prolonged corticosteroid therapy effects. It's also used for osteoporosis and sarcopenia, showing efficacy even in children and infants for promoting weight gain without adverse effects.

Chemical Characteristics

Derived from Dihydrotestosterone (DHT), Primobolan contains a double bond between carbon atoms 1 and 2, enhancing its anabolic strength. The addition of a 1-methyl group allows it to resist hepatic metabolism. Injectable Primobolan (Methenolone Enanthate) features an Enanthate ester, prolonging its release and half-life.

Properties and Side Effects

Primobolan, being a DHT-derivative, lacks estrogen conversion, minimizing estrogenic side effects. However, it suppresses endogenous testosterone production, necessitating post-cycle therapy. While oral Primobolan is hepatotoxic to a lesser degree, high doses or prolonged use may pose risks.

Cycles and Dosages

Primobolan is primarily used in fat loss and cutting cycles, often stacked with other compounds for enhanced effects. Injectable dosages range from 400mg to 1,000mg per week for men and 50mg to 100mg per week for women. Oral dosages vary from 50mg to 200mg per day for men and 50mg to 70mg per day for women.
