🔬 How This Medicine Works (Pharmacology)
Pharmacokinetics
How It Works
This medicine is a synthetic anabolic-androgenic steroid that binds to androgen receptors in target tissues. After binding, the receptor-steroid complex enters the cell nucleus and alters gene transcription, leading to increased protein synthesis, increased red blood cell production, and increased bone mineral density. It also suppresses gonadotropin release, which reduces endogenous testosterone production.
