Oxymetholone is a synthetic 17-alpha-alkylated anabolic-androgenic steroid with historical medical use for certain anemias associated with inadequate red blood cell production.

The supplied product specifies a 50mg strength and the Anapolon designation. Oxymetholone can stimulate erythropoiesis, although its clinical use requires careful consideration of liver function and other systemic effects.

Potential concerns include liver abnormalities, unfavorable lipid changes, fluid retention, androgenic effects, and suppression of endogenous hormone production.
