Spectriol

Spectriol are anabolic androgenic steroids (AASs), prescribed for medical conditions related to low testosterone. Abuse of AASs has increased as they are recognized as potent image-enhancing drugs. The goal of most abusers is to achieve a more attractive appearance. Abuse is complex. There is a vast array of AAS substances available illegally, and the nature of their true composition is difficult to assess. Users follow dosing patterns that incorporate a variety of different AASs, plus other pharmaceutical substances that are thought to complement desired physical effects or manage unwanted effects. Animal research and medical case reports suggest that they can cause severe hepatotoxicity, as well as neurotoxicity, nephrotoxicity, and damage to the cardiovascular and reproductive systems. As long-term AAS users reach maturity, more controlled experimentation with larger sample sizes is required. Data collection should be directed toward the most vulnerable group of AAS users, such as women and adolescents.
