Methandriol Dipropionate (M.D.) is a form of the water-dissolved Methandriol but it remains effective for a
longer period of time. On the one hand, M.D. can be dissolved in oil for injection purposes and, on the other
hand, it is produced in tablet form since it is also effective when taken orally M.D. has a strong anabolic and
androgenic component so that it is suitable for the buildup of strength and muscle mass. The effect can be
compared to a cross between Deca-Durabolin and Testosterone enanthate. Like testosterone it contributes to
a gain in both strength and muscle but does not retain more water than Deca-Durabolin. The best results can
be obtained, however, if M.D. is not taken alone but in combination with another steroid. This is because M.D.
is able to magnify the effects of other steroid compounds. It does this by increasingly sensitizing the
androgenic receptors of the muscle cell, allowing a higher amount of the steroid molecules of the additionally
taken steroids to be absorbed by the receptors. This also explains why injectable M.D. is only available today
as a combination compound with an additional steroid substance. Injectable M.D. is only available in the
Australian veterinary steroids Drive, Spectriol, Geldabol, and Filibol Forte so that procurement of the
compound is difficult. The few athletes using this drug report good strength gains, a solid muscle gain, and low
water retention. The combination steroids aromatize only slightly so, when taking only M.D., the use of
antiestrogens is perhaps ap-propriate. The injectable form is only slightly toxic.
The usual dosage for athletes is 100 mg every 2-3 days. In Europe only the oral form of M.D. is available. Also
in this case it is benefi-cial to combine M.D. with another steroid, preferably an injectable one. The normal
daily dose is 40-60 mg and is usually taken in 2-3 individual doses spread over & day The tablets are usually
taken for only 4-6 weeks since the effect decreases quickly, thus requiring higher dosages. They are also 17-
alpha alkylated so even a low dosage and a short intake can be damaging to the liver. Because of its
androgenic effect women rarely use M.D. Possible side effects of the tablet form can be elevated levels of liver
toxins, gastrointestinal pain, acne, gynecomastia, increased aggressiveness, and high blood pressure.
