Menabol Tablet

Menabol Tablet belongs to the class ‘anabolic steroids’ used in the treatment of hereditary angioedema. It is a rare genetic condition characterized by recurrent episodes of severe swelling (angioedema). The most common areas of the body to develop swelling are the limbs, face, intestinal tract and airway. Minor trauma or stress may trigger an attack, but swelling often occurs without a known trigger.

Menabol Tablet contains stanozolol, a synthetic anabolic steroid (a man-made steroid similar to the naturally occurring steroid testosterone). Menabol Tablet works by reducing the release of a chemical called bradykinin (a peptide that promotes inflammation), which is responsible for the breaking and leakage of blood vessels. This damage to blood vessels leads to sudden accumulation of fluids below the skin, causing swelling (edema) as well as redness. In this way, Menabol Tablet blocks the action of bradykinin and treats angioedema.

You are advised to take Menabol Tablet for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you based on your medical condition. In some cases, you may experience some common side effects like swelling of legs, ankle swelling, and feet swelling, edema (swelling), breast enlargement, and insomnia (difficulty in sleeping). Most of these side effects of Menabol Tablet do not require any medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, stop the medicine and consult your doctor.

Please tell your doctor if you are allergic to Menabol Tablet or any other medicines. Menabol Tablet is not recommended for pre-menopausal women and children. Please consult a doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding before taking Menabol Tablet . The elderly should use Menabol Tablet with caution due to the high risk of adverse effects. If you have kidney, liver or heart problems, high cholesterol levels in the blood, diabetes or blood disorders, inform your doctor before taking Menabol Tablet .

Menabol Tablet is used in the treatment of hereditary angioedema. The detailed uses of Menabol Tablet are as follows:

• Treats Hereditary Angioedema (HAE): Menabol Tablet is used to prevent and reduce the episodes of swelling, redness, and pain associated with HAE by decreasing the release of bradykinin, a chemical responsible for the leakage of blood vessels and fluid build-up under the skin.
• Used in Certain Anaemias: Menabol Tablet may be used to treat anaemia by stimulating the production of red blood cells, particularly when other treatments are ineffective or poorly tolerated by the patient.
• Manages Behcet’s Disease: Menabol Tablet may also be used to manage vascular complications of Behcet’s disease, such as vasculitis (inflammation of blood vessels) and thrombophlebitis (inflammation of veins due to blood clots) .
