As of 2004, there are four anabolic steroids available:
 

Although these products have different labeled uses, they are very similar in action and side effects and may be used interchangeably, subject to differences in route of administration and duration of action.
 
 
What are Anabolic Steroids Used For?
 
In medicine, anabolic steroids are used to treat diseases in which an individual’s growth and development has been restricted or suppressed to a degree that it impacts the individual’s healthy development.
 
Anabolic steroids are used illicitly by individuals seeking to enhance their athletic performance and body development. Body building and American baseball are two recreational areas in which steroid abuse and misuse have been prolific and led to contested results and severe punishments by the governing organisations against participants who are found to have used these substances.
 
 
Who Uses Anabolic Steroids?
 
Steroid use and the use of other performance enhancing drugs is on the rise, particularly among young men who want to achieve a ‘perfect’ gym physique. Local needle exchange programmes in the UK are reporting a significant rise in intramuscular steroid injectors.
 
 
General use
Anabolic steroids are used for the following conditions:
 
catabolic states such as chronic infections, extensive surgery, burns , or severe trauma anemia associated with renal insufficiency, sickle cell anemia , aplastic anemia, and bone marrow failure
angioedema growth failure, including the short stature associated with Turner's syndrome
 
 
Precautions
Anabolic steroids are not recommended for young children because the drugs may cause an early end to the growth of long bones, which results in short stature. Anabolic steroids should be used with great care in girls, because the drugs have masculinizing properties. The drugs should be reserved for situations in which the benefits outweigh the risk. Anabolic steroids have been associated with liver cancer , and they have psychological effects, such as contributing to rage attacks.
 

 
Side effects
Anabolic steroids cause masculinization of females, including hair growth or loss, enlargement of the clitoris, and deepening of the voice. These effects are not reversible, even when the drug is promptly discontinued. In males past the age of puberty , side effects include increased urinary frequency, breast tenderness and enlargement, and frequent erections. In both males and females, anabolic steroids cause swelling of the feet, liver problems, and stomach upset.
 
This list of side effects is incomplete; many additional effects have been reported. Specialized drug references maintain for a complete list for each individual drug, including analysis of psychological effects of these drugs that contribute to rage attacks.
 
 
Interactions
 
Anabolic steroids have an anticoagulant effect. They should be used with care in combination with other drugs that have the same effect, including warfarin, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), and aspirin. Simultaneous use of anabolic steroids and corticosteroids will increase the risk of foot and ankle swelling. The combination is very likely to cause acne . Anabolic steroids may also lower blood glucose levels. They should be used with extreme care in patients taking insulin or other antidiabetic drugs. Other drug interactions have also been reported.
 
 
Parental concerns
 
Because of the nature of the adverse effects of anabolic steroids, their use should be restricted to cases where the benefits clearly outweigh the risks. Regular blood testing for blood counts and liver function is essential. Parents should observe the patient carefully for signs of liver damage, including headache , unpleasant breath odor, and black tarry stools.
