Anabolic steroids can cause many adverse effects. Most of these side effects are dose-dependent, the most common being elevated blood pressure, especially in those with pre-existing hypertension, and harmful changes in cholesterol levels. Short-term usage is generally limited to few side effects, as with many other types of drugs:

* Some steroids cause an increase in LDL cholesterol and a decrease in HDL cholesterol. * Anabolic steroids have been shown to alter fasting blood sugar and glucose tolerance tests. * Acne is fairly common among anabolic steroid users, mostly due to stimulation of the sebaceous glands by increased testosterone levels. The largest problems occur over long-term usage, especially in adolescence, and can range from Heart disease to stunted growth.
