Menabol is a man-made steroid, similar to the a naturally occurring steroid testosterone. Menabol is used in the treatment of hereditary angioedema, which causes episodes of swelling of the face, extremities, genitals, bowel wall, and throat. Menabol may decrease the frequency and severity of these attacks.

The pill and the injected forms of Menabol are equally popular and are used mainly based on personal preference. Both of these drugs are to be taken on a daily basis, another thing that makes them popular in the world of bodybuilding where daily doses are far preferable to less frequent administering.

Typically, Menabol does not result in huge, dramatic gains. Rather, it is best known for smaller but more sustainable and steady ones. However, it is not advisable to take Menabol for extended periods of time; eight weeks is the generally agreed upon maximum length of time for taking this steroid, and that is longer than most people take it. Therefore, while its gains are respectable, they are not sustainable in the long term since this drug cannot be taken for an extreme length of time.

In rare cases, serious and even fatal cases of liver problems have developed during treatment with Menabol. Contact your doctor immediately if you experience abdominal pain, light colored stools, dark colored urine, unusual fatigue, nausea or vomiting, or yellowing of the skin or eyes. These may be early signs of liver problems.

Side effects: new or worsening acne; difficulty sleeping; headache; or changes in sexual desire.
