What are the side effects?
Anabolic steroids are associated with numerous side effects. Most of the side effects are mild and reversible. However, some are permanent and life threatening. In both sexes: – Acne – Carcinoma – Decrease in HDL to LDL (good to bad cholesterol) ratio – Depression – Edema due to fluid and electrolytes retention – Impotence – Increased or decreased libido – Insomnia – Liver cell tumors – Male pattern baldness – Nausea – Vomiting In males: – Prostate Enlargement – Bladder irritability – Gynecomastia – Increased frequency of erection – Inhibition of testicular function – Testicular atrophy In females: – Clitoral enlargement – Deepening of voice – Increase in facial and body hair – Menstrual irregularities Emotional problems associated with steroid use include dramatic mood swings (including manic symptoms that can lead to violence), depression, paranoid jealousy, extreme irritability, delusions, and impaired judgment. In addition to the risks directly associated with steroid abuse, indivi
In clinical studies, most patients experienced mild or moderate side effects with Glivec therapy. Most patients are not bothered enough by side effects to discontinue Glivec therapy. The most common side effects include nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, abdominal pain, fatigue, myalgia, muscle cramps, skin rash, and fluid retention. Some patients experienced bleeding from the GI tract or the tumour while on Glivec therapy (GI bleeds are more common in GIST than CML). While bleeding may have been caused by the tumour—not Glivec—you should notify your physician immediately if you observe any blood in your stools, have pain in your abdomen, feel weak or dizzy, or look pale.

• Problems clearing ears – eardrum may become bruised. This can be relieved by making changes during the treatment. • Oxygen toxicity-too much oxygen in the tissues. Changes are made in the treatment process to prevent this. • Visual changes – Your vision can change after 20 or more treatments. This is temporary and typically returns to pre-treatment status 6-12 weeks after therapy is completed. WHAT IS THE TREATMENT LIKE? St. John’s Mercy Hyperbaric and Wound Treatment Center uses monoplace chambers, where each patient receives treatment individually. Only 100% cotton gowns are allowed in the chamber. No cosmetics, nail polish, perfumes, deodorants, wigs or jewelry are worn during treatment. You should not consume carbonated drinks or alcohol for at least four hours before your treatment. Smoking and tobacco use is not recommended because they inhibit the body’s ability to adequately carry oxygen. Inside the chamber you will feel pressure changes similar to take-off and landing in a j
Although some websites report that B5 is safe, side effects might be possible. That B5 is a water-soluble vitamin, is not a guarantee that side-effect won’t appear. Unfortunately there aren’t a lot of studies done on mega doses of B5. So it’s impossible to say if a mega dose of B5 might or might not cause serious long term side effects. Although Dr. Leung (the one who found the treatment of a mega dose of b5 for acne) is treating acne patients since something like 1997 with B5. Keep in mind that there are always a percentage of people who get problems, whether it is caused by B5 or by something else. Some will blame B5 for it without knowing the real cause. Maybe the real cause was something that would have happened even when they would live healthy without B5. Side effects can roughly be divided into 2 groups: • Mild side effects: like mild stomach irritation, diarrhea, initial headache and initial breakout. These side effects should be expected and are often found in articles/studies
