by Bill Roberts - This oral
anabolic-androgenic steroid was synthesized and approved under the brand name
Nilevar as the first orally-active AAS in 1956. Norethandrolone has moderate progestagenic activity. I don't have information on whether Winstrol counteracts this, as appears to be the case with Anadrol®, but in any case it is not considered a particularly useful drug for male bodybuilders. For female bodybuilders, it is probably an average synthetic, comparable to Dianabol. It shares the liver toxicity issues common to 17-alkylated steroids. It probably has low conversion to estrogen (contrary to claims made elsewhere).
Norethandrolone is the chemical
name of active ingredient in Nilevar.
Nilevar
was originally a registered trademark of Searle
Laboratories
in the United States and/or other countries prior
to cancellation.
