Overview

WINIMED 50 (Stanozolol) is a derivative of dihydrotestosterone (DHT). It is used for the treatment of anemia and hereditary angioedema which causes episodes of swelling of the face, extremities, genitals, bowel wall, and throat. It is manufactured as 50mg/ml injections which contain stanozolol 50mg and excipients.

Stanozolol Mechanism of Action

Stanozolol is an anabolic steroid and acts on androgen receptors. Stanozolol has weak androgenic properties which makes it useful in the treatment of children. It also seems to enhance the production of the C1NH protein. Shortage of this protein is implicated in the development of hereditary angioedema. Even though it has weak androgenic properties it can still act on the kidneys to increase erythropoietin which leads to an increase in red cell production.
