7,8-benzoflavone Overview

7,8-Benzoflavone acts as a steroidal aromatase inhibitor, which means it helps increase testosterone levels by blocking the conversion of testosterone to estrogen. This can be particularly beneficial when used alongside anabolic steroids to minimize side effects like gynecomastia caused by excess testosterone converting to estrogen. However, it's important to note that the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) has banned the use of aromatase inhibitors in sports to maintain fairness and integrity in athletic competition. Moreover, the consumption of dietary supplements containing aromatase inhibitors can pose significant risks. Adverse effects linked to these inhibitors encompass aggressive behavior, adrenal insufficiency, reduced bone maturation and growth rates, diminished sperm production, infertility, kidney failure, and liver dysfunction. The use of aromatase inhibitors (of which many are available by prescription) should be under the supervision of a medical professional.

Hydrocodone Overview

  • Hydrocodone is used to relieve severe pain. Hydrocodone is only used to treat people who are expected to need medication to relieve severe pain around-the-clock for a long time and who cannot be treated with other medications or treatments. Hydrocodone extended-release (long-acting) capsules or extended-release tablets should not be used to treat pain that can be controlled by medication that is taken as needed. Hydrocodone is in a class of medications called opiate (narcotic) analgesics. It works by changing the way the brain and nervous system respond to pain.

  • This monograph only includes information about the use of hydrocodone alone. If you are taking a hydrocodone combination product, be sure to read information about all the ingredients in the hydrocodone-combination monograph and ask your doctor or pharmacist for more information.
