Steroids are administered by injection or taken in pill form.

There is no safe level of drug or substance use. All substances carry risks, so caution must always be exercised when using them. Steroids work differently for each person depending on several factors, including:
– The user’s weight
– The user’s physical and mental health
– The frequency of use
– The use with other drugs or substances, such as prescription drugs
– The amount used
– The quality of the drug (varies by production and type of steroid)

– Increased muscle size and firmness
– Reduced water retention in the body

– Increased strength and endurance
– Increased water retention in the face, causing bloating
– Acne and permanent scarring
– Mood swings, irritability
– Frequent fevers
– Aggression, violent behavior
– Increased self-confidence
– Increased sex drive
– Sleep problems

– Gynaecomastia
– Hair loss
– Aggression, mood swings

If you want to be safe, you don’t have to use drugs at all, okay? But let’s be honest, many people use drugs. Some people use them for fun, but many people use them and cause problems with their physical and mental health, relationships, careers, finances, or all of the above. Many people even use them to the point of addiction. If left untreated, it will have a greater impact on their health. If you plan to use drugs or any substances, do so safely. You decide for yourself what substances you are going to put into your body, but whatever you choose, make sure that it is safe and will have the least impact on yourself and others.

If you decide to inject drugs, make sure that the equipment you are using is clean. Do not share needles or injection equipment with others, as this can increase the risk of contracting blood-borne diseases such as hepatitis B, C, and HIV. You may not be able to see blood on the needle or syringe, but it may be on your skin, hands, or even on the table. So, just because you can’t see blood doesn’t mean it won’t come out. Always wash your hands and disinfect the area where you will be injecting. Injecting drugs and sharing injection equipment with others can put you at risk of: – Damaged blood vessels and permanent scarring
– Infection with hepatitis B, C, tetanus, and HIV
– Blood clots, which can cause paralysis, organ damage, stroke, and even death if you reuse a needle. Learn how to clean a needle at [insert testBKK blog on “how to clean a used needle”]
