Stz4.2

Stanozolol (Winstrol)

Limited safety

Evidence

Evidence Score4.2/10

Studies: 7

Meta-analyses: 1

Dosage & timing

Dosage:

There is no legitimate non-medical dose. Stanozolol is a prescription-only, DEA Schedule III controlled substance; this library does NOT provide a body-composition dosing protocol. For context only: in hereditary-angioedema prophylaxis, clinicians titrate to the lowest effective dose — cohort data describe initial dosing around 0.5–2 mg/day with most patients later reducing further — and a lipodermatosclerosis trial used 2 mg twice daily, all under medical supervision with liver-enzyme and lipid monitoring. That is not an endorsement of self-administration.

Best Time:

Any time

Can take on empty stomach

Form:

Prescription oral tablet (Winstrol) — clinician-directed, hereditary-angioedema prophylaxis only
