Medical Use: The typical dosage for adults and children is 1-5 mg/kg body weight per day, with 1-2 mg/kg/day often effective for anemia treatment. A 25mg dose is considered a lower starting point, particularly for beginners or those sensitive to the drug, to minimize side effects.
Bodybuilding Use: In bodybuilding, beginners often start at 25mg per day, while 50mg is standard for experienced users. A 25mg dose is effective for muscle gains without significantly impacting appetite, unlike higher doses (e.g., 50mg+), which may reduce appetite and hinder bulking. Cycles typically last 4-6 weeks due to liver toxicity concerns.
Administration: Taken orally with water, tablets should be swallowed whole without chewing or crushing. Dosage and duration are individualized based on medical advice or bodybuilding goals.
