This section refers to the oral Primobolan preparation, which contains the drug methenolone acetate. It is very similar in action to the injectable Primobolan Depot (methenolone enanthate), but obviously here the drug is designed for oral administration. Methenolone regardless of the ester is a very mild anabolic steroid. The androgenic activity of this compound is considerably low, as are its anabolic properties. One should not expect to achieve great gains in muscle mass with this drug. Instead, Primobol is utilized when the athlete has a specific need for a mild anabolic agent, most notably in cutting phases of training. It is also a drug of choice when side effects are a concern. Primobol will also not aromatize, so estrogen related side effects are of no concern. And of course without excess estrogen there is little chance of the athlete developing gynecomastia. Likewise there should never be a need for antiestrogen use with this steroid.
