PHARMACOLOGY
Androlic Body Research, is sold under the pharmaceutical name Oxymetholone, and has a half life of about 8-10 hours. This means it remains in your body for 2-4 times longer. The reason it stays in the body longer is because of its affinity for fatty tissues where it gets stored.
Biochemical analysis have shown that Anadrol can be detected in the body for up to 2 months after the last dose. Because of this long half life, it is not the preferred drug of choice by many body builders. Most experts recommend it as an off season drug to build the body.
Indications
In clinical medicine, Anadrol has been indicated in the treatment of anemias from a variety of different causes. The most common anemia treated with Anadrol is iron deficiency anemia, acquired aplastic anemia, congenital aplastic anemia, myleofibrosis and the anemia caused by the use of immunosuppressive drugs. Anadrol is not a replacement for iron, blood transfusion, vitamin, folic acid or other nutrients. It is only used to treat these anemias after they have failed to respond to all other supportive measures.
The drug has also been recommended for the treatment of wasting seen in HIV patients and in individuals with severe osteoporosis. However, because of the greater awareness of its potential side effects, most physicians do not prescribe it.

When Anadrol is administered to treat any of the above medical disorders, its response is never immediate and may take a minimum of 2-3 weeks.
