Methandrostenolone Side Effects and How to Stay Safe

Methandrostenolone, also known as Dianabol, is one of the safest steroids on the market and is a favorite among ‘beginner’ bodybuilders who are looking to stay as safe as possible while still experimenting with the results they can get from PEDs (performance-enhancing drugs). Despite this fact however, it would not be accurate to say that Dianabol is ‘safe’ by any means. This is still an illegal substance and as such, it still carries a large number of risks and potential side effects.

Is Dianabol safe for women?

Dianabol or methandrostenolone is not at all safe for women. I have covered it in detail in another article which you can access here – Is Dianabol safe for women.

So how do you stay safe?

Here’s a guideline to keep yourself safe when on Methandrostenolone or Dianabol tablets:

1. Research the source

The first thing to do is to be very thorough when researching different sources of methandrostenolone. While any source is going to be illegal and thus not particularly trustworthy, you can nevertheless get a good picture of the safety by listening to the reviews of other users and comparing different sources. Shop around, ask people who have experience and take your time in considering the best source.

2. Follow all guidelines and do your research

There are right ways and wrong ways to try steroids. For example, even though Dbol is one of the safer steroids, it’s still highly important that you use a PCT following use. This is ‘Post Cycle Therapy’ and is designed to try and fix your endogenous testosterone production such that you won’t be forced to rely on HRT (hormone replacement therapy) following use.

Another tip is to make sure you are fully informed regarding the cycles to use, the amount of milligrams to use etc. Read the packaging and any instructions you can find online. The more you know, the safer you’ll be.

3. Start slow and monitor your results

You are already doing well by starting with the relatively mild Dianabol rather than going straight for something much stronger like Deca. However, you still need to practice caution in other areas as well. For example, make sure that you don’t overdo your dosage to begin with – 20-25mg is a good starting dose and will be less likely to cause damage. Likewise, don’t stack until you have a lot more experience.

Of course, this still won’t be ‘safe’ per say, however. The only way to be completely safe from side effects is not to use drugs at all! Consider products by companies like Crazy Bulk as a safe alternative then.
