It should be used with caution by users with pre-existing cardiovascular disorders and hepatic or renal insufficiency. It is a high androgenic drug. In comparison with other anabolic steroids, metribolone does not convert to estrogen; therefore many adverse reactions such as gynecomastia and water retention can be avoided. Another difference between metribolone and the rest of anabolic steroids is its anti-catabolic property. It is favorable for persons that wish to minimize muscle wasting when having a calorie deficit. Its active life cycle is 6 hours. Metribolone is not recommended for use in women due to its increased toxicity.
