What Are Oral Anabolic Steroids?
Oral anabolic steroids are drugs that are designed to replicate the effects of testosterone, the most active of all naturally occurring anabolic steroids. These drugs are taken orally. Also called anabolic-androgenic steroids (abbreviated as AAS) or anabolic steroids (abbreviated as AS). They are the most widely used drugs in the world, and are used both legitimately and illegally for therapeutic purposes.
Thus far, oral anabolic steroids have only been used to promote growth in humans; they are mostly used by bodybuilders and athletes. The use of these drugs for this purpose is prohibited in most countries.
