Stanozolol Uses

Stanozolol is used in the treatment of Angioedema and post menopausal osteoporosis.

How Stanozolol works

Stanozolol reduces the release of a chemical called bradykinin, that is responsible for causing breaking and leakage of blood vessels. This damage to blood vessels leads to sudden accumulation of fluids below the skin causing swelling (edema) as well as redness. Stanozolol blocks the action of bradykinin and treats angioedema.
