What is Superdrol
Superdrol is a fast-acting oral steroid popular for bulking and lean bulking cycles. This compound isn’t suitable for beginners and should only be administered by experienced users due to its side effects.
On the bright side, Superdrol doesn’t aromatize, meaning there won’t be any estrogenic side effects, particularly water retention. As some of the anecdotal reports say, gynecomastia can still be an issue.
Superdrol Benefits
Superdrol cycle will help you to:
- Increase lean muscle mass: you can gain up to 15–25 lbs on a bulking cycle with no water retention, achieving a defined, “dry” look;
- Enhance strength: users report improvements in their strength stats since the first days of administration;
- Look massive: Superdrol can increase your muscles’ fullness and vascularity;
- Accelerate recovery: you’ll be able to train even harder, push through plateaus, and achieve new personal bests quickly.
Other benefits may include joint support, reduced risks of injury, and anti-catabolic properties if used in a cutting stack. It’s an oral compound, meaning there won’t be any post-injection pain, irritation, or swelling.
Superdrol Side Effects
Some of the Superdrol side effects include:
- Testosterone suppression;
- Virilization effects;
- Arrhythmia, chest pain, hypertension, or increased heart rate;
- Liver or kidney dysfunction;
- Decreased HDL and increased LDL levels;
- Acne and oily skin;
- Hair thinning;
- Dizziness and headaches;
- Gynecomastia;
- Nosebleed;
- Nausea and appetite suppression.
Gynecomastia isn’t caused by increased progesterone or estrogen levels, but it’s still mentioned in anecdotal reports.
Contraindications
Superdrol can’t be used by individuals with serious cardiovascular or renal disorders, liver disease, or hypertension.
Superdrol and Women
Women can’t use Superdrol, as it’s highly androgenic and will cause virilization symptoms. There’s no “if,” only “when,” and since this compound is fast-acting, “when” might be way sooner than you think.
It’s a potent compound, and it shouldn’t be misused. Remember, some of the virilization effects may be irreversible (deepening of the voice, clitoris enlargement, etc.).
Superdrol Dosage
The recommended Superdrol dosage can vary between 10–40 mg/day, with a cycle length of 4–6 weeks. It’s recommended to start at 10 mg/day and increase the dosage gradually up to 20 mg/day if you haven’t used Superdrol before.
Even though it’s safe to take 30 or 40 mg/day, most users do not increase the dosage and stay at 20 mg/day due to serious side effects.
How to Take Superdrol
Superdrol should be taken twice a day to maintain a stable serum concentration. Its half-life is estimated at 12 hours.
Since it’s a C17-alpha alkylated steroid, it can cause elevated liver enzymes, jaundice, or liver dysfunction (worst-case scenario). To avoid these side effects, you can add hepatoprotective supplements to your cycle, such as NAC, TUDCA, or Liv-52.

Common Questions About Superdrol
Can You Take Superdrol by Itself?
Yes, you can go on a Superdrol solo cycle. However, this oral compound can cause severe testosterone suppression; therefore, adding a testosterone ester to the cycle can be beneficial.
Can You Keep Superdrol Gains?
Superdrol gains fully depend on your diet, training regimen, and commitment. To keep most of the muscle mass gains, you’ll need to work harder than on a Test, Deca, or Tren cycle. It’s one of the reasons why Superdrol cycles are for experienced users only.
Does Superdrol Cause Headaches?
Yes, Superdrol can cause headaches, dizziness, and fatigue. If you are worried about possible side effects, you can always start with the lower dosage, 10 mg/week.
