Oxabolone Cipionate

Oxabolone Cipionate (pronunciation: oks-uh-boh-lohn sih-pee-ohn-ayt) is a synthetic anabolic steroid developed for medical use. It is a derivative of testosterone, specifically a testosterone ester, and is primarily used in the treatment of anemia and to support muscle growth in malnourished or underdeveloped patients.

Etymology

The term "Oxabolone Cipionate" is derived from its chemical structure. "Oxabolone" refers to the steroid's oxandrolone base, while "Cipionate" is derived from cipionato, the Spanish term for the cypionate ester.

Usage

Oxabolone Cipionate is administered via intramuscular injection. It is not commonly prescribed due to its potential for side effects, including androgenic effects such as virilization and anabolic effects such as increased muscle mass and strength. It is also a controlled substance in many countries due to its potential for misuse in sports and bodybuilding.
