Why do athletes use steroids?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Athletes use steroids to bulk up fast!! It's an amazing drug for that! But it is harmful to some! It's causes boils and acne on some people. Steroids is a testerone enhancement. Known to cause cancer. A lot of people use them but it's a gamble. When you hit your fifties it's almost impossible to get big as a man in his 20 or 30s. Aging actors who play action movies will not admit they do enhancing drugs, try getting that big! It would take forever. It's a controlled drug so all I see here is people saying it's illegal! We know that! Answer the question ! Do not prostheses!

Do Body building steroids do they promote low sperm count?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

While there is clinical evidence that some anabolic steroids slightly reduce sperm count, it is by no means a form of birth control. Sperm count almost always goes up after the body's natural testosterone levels have recovered. There is not much evidence suggesting sperm count will be permanently reduced after cessation of an anabolic steroid cycle.

I think as long as you use post-cycle therapy drugs like nolvadex, your sperm count will return to a somewhat normal level fairly quickly. Just don't forget that anabolic steroids are not a form of male birth control.

Need to know if a product for your horses is real or fake TESTOBOL testosterone propionate 100mg ml manufactured by pharmvet labs New Jersey?

Asked by Wiki User

A quick search does not show a Pharmvet Labs. There is a Vet Pharm, Inc. which carries several forms of anabolic steriods with their MSDS sheets. No listings of products called Testabol.

A standard web search shows this "product" mentioned primarily by body builders.

What is the prednisone dosing for dogs?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Prednisone is a synthetic corticosteroid (administered as drugs which reduce swelling and decrease the body's immune response) that is administered in dogs and cats for the treatment of certain emergency situations such as anaphylactic reactions, spinal chord trauma, and many other forms of shock. It is also widely used for treating autoimmune disease in dogs (canine autoimmune disease). This medical condition occurs when the body's own immune system creates antibodies against the tissues present in the body, for no apparent reason. Apart from being diagnosed in the humans, this disorder has been found to be common in dogs, cats and horses, among the animals. Prednisone for dogs is also used for different cases such as neoplasia and dermatologic diseases; allergic reactions like asthma, hives and itching. The treatment of inflammatory bowel disease in dogs (canine IBD), inflammatory orthopedic diseases and many other disorders are also subjected to the use of prednisone.

Prednisone for Dogs Dosage
Before administrating the medicine, it is very important that a qualified vet is consulted. Such medicines are prescribed drugs and should only be obtained from a vet or by prescription by a vet. The dosage for anti-inflammatory medicines goes from 0.1 to 0.3 mg per pound upto twice on a daily basis. Immunosuppressive doses should be limited from 1 to 3 mg per pound and it should be administered three times daily. Other range between 0.1 to 3 mg per pound. The length of the course of medicine widely depends upon the specific condition and the characteristic response to the medication. The development of any kind of side effects should also be noted and informed about to the vet. The prescribed duration of the medicines must be completed as recommended by the doctor, even if the dogs start feeling better.

Prednisone for Dogs - Side Effects
Usage of prednisone for dogs has been known to cause adverse side effects in the animals. Gastric side effects like stomach ulcers and disturbed process of absorbing nutrients have been found in the dogs. The drug often makes them more thirsty than usual and increases frequency of urination. Weight gain is another characteristic side effect that shows up after using prednisone for dogs. This is because, the drug affects the dogs' appetite to increase abnormally. Due to this, dogs crave for food even if they are full after taking their meal.

Dogs may suffer from pain and inflammation in pancreas and become prone to diabetes. This happens as the drug causes imbalance in the glands that are responsible for keeping diabetes under control. Diarrhea, fatigue, muscle weakness or joint pain and vomiting are some other prednisone for dogs side effects which usually come up during the course of using this medicine.

Prolong use of prednisone for dogs result in loss of hair coat, liver impairment, thinning of skin, cataracts, glaucoma and other unpredictable changes in the dog behavior such as abnormal fear or aggression. Overdose of the drug may lead on of the most severe side effects known as hyperadrenocorticism in dogs; also known by the name 'Canine Cushing's disease'. It is a complicated condition that occurs due to the overproduction of glucocorticoid in the pets' body and it is signified by a wide range of symptoms and causes.

Being a corticosteroid, the drug hinders the normal functioning of the adrenal glands. Its use for a longer period, creates dependency on the drug as the body may not be able to produce corticosteroids on its own.

Due to such severe side effects that prednisone has on dogs, it is mandatory to use the drugs with care and following only what has been prescribed by the vet. What is important to be treated with prime consideration is the amount of dosage given to the pets. Prednisone for dogs is no doubt effective, however, to ensure that is it safe at the same time, always seek for a vet's advice and directions. After all, dog health is most important for you to keep your loving companion happy and playful.

How much Prednisone can you give your dog?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

I had 2 Rottweilers who took predisone, I would say a 105 lb dog could take up to 40mgs of predisone if need be. Even slightly higher if it is used to correct the immune system. Otherwise as a anti-inflamatory drug a lower dose would be needed.

If you give a chicken steroids will it alter the taste when it's cooked?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

No, not usually. Special breeds of chickens have been created to grow quickly to produce meat, so steroids are not necessary. It is more expensive for the producer (of meat or eggs) to use steroids than to just raise a few more chickens to make up for not using steroids. There might be rare cases where steroids are used, but if you purchase chicken meat or eggs from the grocery store, chances are there will be no steroids because it is not profitable for the producer.

Florence griffith Joyner did she die through steroids?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

An autopsy was performed and determined that she passed away due to asphyxia when suffering an epiletic seizure while sleeping. The autopsy did not test for steroids.

Certainly, there was a lot of talk about her using performance enhancing substances. Her retirement during the prime of her career did nothing but fuel that talk. Track and field was one of the sports where steroids ran rampant during the 1980s. Many of the world records set in track and field disciplines in the 80s are still world records today, including FloJo's records in the 100 meter dash and 200 meter dash.

How many wrestlers have died from steroids?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

An NFL Football player by the name of Lyle Alzado (1949-1992), died off of steroids actually that is incorrect. Lyle Alzado is the most brought up name in steroid conversations but the simple fact is just because people say it doesnt make it true. Lyle Alzado died of a brain tumor, not steroids. Even his own doctor and the leading qualified doctor specializing in steroids insure that steroids did not lead to his death, so enough of the Lyle Alzado name dropping, ok?

Is chris Jericho on steroids?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

If hes not currently, he definitely has been. I'm afraid to reach such levels you need to be on anabolic steroids plus have good genetics, good diet and train hard. Unfortunately most sportspeople have used steroids and often admit it once retired, as its the easiest way for them to exceed their genetics.

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Flair admitted to steriod use on limited, short term basis in the 1970's, and again in 1985 and 1989. He stated in his autobiography that he asked Vince McMahon if he should use them to "bulk up" prior to his in ring debut with WWE in 1991 and McMahon told him no. Flair has never admitted steroid use past 1989-90. There are no reports of him failing any drug tets during his last run with WWE 2001-2008.
