Boldenone Undecylenate 250 mg/ml

Boldenone Undecylenate 250 mg/ml is a clear oily solution for injection into a muscle. It contains boldenone, a man-made hormone closely related to testosterone, the main male sex hormone that men's bodies make naturally. Boldenone is less masculinising than testosterone, but a small part of it is still changed into the female hormone oestrogen in the body, so breast tenderness and fluid retention are possible. The "undecylenate" part is a very slow-release form: one injection goes on releasing the hormone over several weeks, so both the effects and any side effects build up and fade away slowly. Your doctor has prescribed this medicine for you after weighing the benefits against the risks.

Because this medicine stays in your body for weeks, it is especially important that your doctor knows everything about your health before the first injection.

Warnings and precautions

• +Talk to your doctor before using this medicine if you have a heart or circulation problem or high blood pressure. Boldenone increases the number of red blood cells your body makes, which thickens the blood and can raise the risk of a clot.
• +Your doctor will normally check your blood count regularly. If your red cell level climbs too high, treatment may need to be paused or stopped — and because this is a very long-acting form, the effect takes weeks to wear off.
• +Tell your doctor if you have raised cholesterol, diabetes, epilepsy, migraine, or liver or kidney problems, as these may need closer watching during treatment.
• +Tell your doctor about any prostate trouble, and if you are an older man. Your prostate will usually be checked before and during treatment.
• +Some men notice tender or swollen breast tissue, because a small part of this hormone turns into oestrogen. Tell your doctor if this happens rather than waiting.
• +This medicine lowers the testosterone your own body makes and can reduce your sperm count; because the ester is so long-acting, recovery after stopping can take many months.
• +This medicine is not for children or for adolescents still growing, as it can stop the bones reaching their full length.
• +Boldenone is prohibited in sport by the World Anti-Doping Agency and can be detected in tests for many months after the last injection. Tell your doctor if you compete at any level.

Other medicines and Boldenone Undecylenate

Tell your doctor or pharmacist about all other medicines you take, have recently taken, or might take, including those bought without a prescription. Take particular care with blood-thinning medicines such as warfarin, since this injection can make them work more strongly and increase the risk of bleeding; with medicines for diabetes, including insulin, because your blood sugar may fall and your doses may need to be reduced; and with steroid medicines of the cortisone type, such as prednisolone, which together with this injection can make fluid build up and your ankles swell.

Pregnancy, breastfeeding and fertility

This medicine must not be used in pregnancy. It can harm an unborn baby and can cause masculine changes in a baby girl. It must not be used while breastfeeding, as it may pass into breast milk. It is not for use in women. Because it is released so slowly, it can remain in the body for months after the last injection, so it is not suitable for anyone who may become pregnant in that time. In men it reduces sperm production and can make it harder to father a child; this usually improves after treatment stops, but the recovery is slow and may take many months.

Driving and using machines

This medicine is not expected to affect driving or the use of tools and machines. However, headache, dizziness, restlessness or a rise in blood pressure can occur. If you notice any of these, do not drive or use machines until you feel completely normal again.

Always use this medicine exactly as your doctor has told you; ask your doctor or pharmacist if you are not sure. It is given as a deep injection into a muscle, usually the buttock or the thigh, by a doctor or nurse, or by you if you have been trained. It must never be injected into a vein. The solution is thick and contains benzyl benzoate to keep it dissolved, so it should be injected slowly and into a large muscle; some stinging or aching afterwards is common. Change the injection site each time. Each ampoule is for one use only — discard anything left over. If you miss a dose, do not inject extra to make up for it; contact your doctor, who will decide when the next injection should be given. Because the medicine acts over weeks, a delay of a few days matters less than with short-acting injections, but your doctor should still be told. If you think you have received too much, contact your doctor.

Like all medicines, this medicine can cause side effects, although not everybody gets them.

Other possible side effects

• +A rise in your red blood cell count, making the blood thicker — usually found on a blood test, but it can cause flushing, headaches or a feeling of pressure in the head

• +Tender or slightly swollen breast tissue in men
