Drostanolone Propionate is an injectable steroid, it’s active substance is Drostanolone Propionate.

Drostanolone Propionate is perhaps one of the more exotic androgenic/anabolic steroids that may be used by an athlete. Originally it was developed and used as an anti-estrogen for the treatment of breast cancer. It was largely used in combination with the SERM (Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulator) Tamoxifen for the treatment of breast cancer, and did give a significant decrease in estrogen levels in women undergoing such treatment. It is not much used these days for such purposes, for varying reasons, however for many athletes including competitive bodybuilders in particular, Drostanolone Propionate remains a rather unsung favourite of anabolic steroid medicines.

The fact that Drostanolone Propionate was being used as an anti-estrogen goes to suggest quite a lot about some properties Drostanolone Propionate possesses. Drostanolone Propionate is a derivative of DHT (dihydrotestosterone) and does not convert to estrogen through means of aromatisation. It is thought that the anti-estrogenic properties of Drostanolone Propionate may be in part to do with either an inhibition in some way of the aromatase enzyme or an interaction with estrogen itself in a way which blocks receptor binding of the estrogen. Either way, this would put Drostanolone Propionate as a useful tool for the anabolic steroid user who uses compounds that convert to estrogen (which most anabolic steroid users do, considering testosterone is the main basis of most cycles). By inhibiting the aromatase enzyme, Drostanolone Propionate would be in effect blocking the conversion of free testosterone to estrogen by the aromatisation pathway. This would not only serve to marginally increase the amounts of active free testosterone in circulation, but it would also negate the side-effects that result from high levels of estrogen due to aromatisation. Such side effects include the development of gynecomastia and water retention/bloating. Conversely, if Drostanolone Propionate actually blocks the binding of estrogen to the estrogen receptor (ER) in some way, although aromatisation of testosterone may occur, its effects would be limited due to the inability of the estrogen to bind to the estrogen receptor. Thus through this mechanism, the effects of excess estrogen production through aromatisation would also be limited by use of this steroid.

Although Drostanolone Propionate contains such anti-estrogenic properties, it also (being a DHT derivative) has anabolic and androgenic properties. Although in theory and on paper it may be seen to be not a very strong androgen, in fact Drostanolone Propionate does give higher androgenic effects than one may expect. The use of Drostanolone Propionate , will shut down natural testosterone production and so despite having anti-estrogenic effects again, one must not think that Drostanolone Propionate could be used as an option in post cycle therapy as it will inhibit recovery.

Due to the effects of Drostanolone Propionate on estrogen related side effects, Drostanolone Propionate is a very useful tool (especially in competitive bodybuilding) when cutting. Anabolic steroids higher levels of estrogen result in water retention, Drostanolone Propionate inhibits water retention, and many users claim that their muscles feel very full and tight on Drostanolone Propionate , with it giving them amazing muscle pumps in the gym. Dose for men: 300-600 mg/week, dose for women: 100-300 mg/week.
