Methandriol Dipropionate (M.D.) is a form of the water-dissolved
Methandriol but it remains effective for a longer period of time. On the one
hand, M.D. can be dissolved in oil for injection purposes and, on the other
hand, it is produced in tablet form since it is also effective when taken
orally M.D. has a strong anabolic and androgenic component so that it is
suitable for the buildup of strength and muscle mass. The effect can be
compared to a cross between Deca-Durabolin and Testosterone enanthate. Like
testosterone it contributes to a gain in both strength and muscle but does
not retain more water than Deca-Durabolin. The best results can be obtained,
however, if M.D. is not taken alone but in combination with another steroid.
This is because M.D. is able to magnify the effects of other steroid
compounds. It does this by increasingly sensitizing the androgenic receptors
of the muscle cell, allowing a higher amount of the steroid molecules of the
additionally taken steroids to be absorbed by the receptors. This also
explains why injectable M.D. is only available today as a combination
compound with an additional steroid substance. Injectable M.D. is only
available in the Australian veterinary steroids Drive, Spectriol, Geldabol,
and Filibol Forte so that procurement of the compound is difficult.
The few athletes using this drug report good strength gains, a solid
muscle gain, and low water retention. The combination steroids aromatize
only slightly so, when taking only M.D., the use of antiestrogens is perhaps
appropriate. The injectable form is only slightly toxic. The usual dosage
for athletes is 100 mg every 2-3 days. In Europe only the oral form of M.D.
is available. Also in this case it is benefi-cial to combine M.D. with
another steroid, preferably an injectable one. The normal daily dose is
40-60 mg and is usually taken in 2-3 individual doses spread over & day The
tablets are usually taken for only 4-6 weeks since the effect decreases
quickly, thus requiring higher dosages. They are also 17-alpha alkylated so
even a low dosage and a short intake can be damaging to the liver. Because
of its androgenic effect women rarely use M.D. Possible side effects of the
tablet form can be elevated levels of liver toxins, gastrointestinal pain,
acne, gynecomastia, increased aggressiveness, and high blood pressure.
