Bodybuilders
The drug is still widely abused by bodybuilders to increase muscle mass. The question is whether it is really Finaplex that is being injected. Since the drug is no longer manufactured by pharmaceutical companies, all the production is done in SE Asia, Mexico and Eastern Europe. There are some clandestine laboratories that do make the drug, but quality and purity of the product is in question. The drug when injected is slowly absorbed and remains in the body for 3-20 days. Finaplex has been shown to increase protein synthesis and induce a positive nitrogen balance. Most bodybuilders claim that it increases appetite, decreases muscle breakdown and also helps recovery after injury.
At low doses, Finaplex is safe. When used at very high doses, Finaplex is converted into estrogen- which causes water retention and gynecomastia.
Over the years, Finaplex injections have become available in various formulations. All of them have an ester bond attachment. The longer this aliphatic chain, the greater is the duration of action. The short action Finaplex is quickly absorbed in the body after an injection and is excreted within 2-5 days. The longer acting formulations stay in the body for 10-30 days. Most bodybuilders inject themselves 1-2 times a week for 4-6 weeks.
