Trenbolone acetate (Finaplex)

Finaplex (also known as trenbolone) is a synthetic steroid which was once used in the agriculture industry to fatten livestock. The drug is a potent weight stimulant agent and can increase appetite. Finaplex is an esterified steroid which enables it to act for a longer period of time. Even though it was used as an anabolic agent, it is also a potent androgenic drug. It is only available as an intramuscular injection.

As soon as it was realized that the drug had anabolic properties, many bodybuilders and other athletes started to consume it in large amounts. The drug was basically bought from the veterinarians or obtained illegally through some pharmacies. The drug does increase body weight and muscle mass as long as the diet is rich in calories.

Pharmacology

Like many anabolic steroids, Finaplex has similar activities. Besides increasing protein synthesis and muscle mass, the drug can also increase numbers of red blood cells. This leads to a higher hemoglobin level and a slightly increased oxygen carrying capacity. The higher the dose, the more significant the effects.

Finaplex has never been approved for treatment of any medical disorder in humans. In animals, Finaplex when administered at low doses is found to be pretty safe but at high doses, it does possess potent side effects. The drug is no longer manufactured in North America.
