POSSIBLY UNSAFE ...when used orally. Anabolic androgenic steroids, such as epistane, can disrupt the body's hormonal balance and cause various adverse effects including reduced fertility, gynecomastia (in males), hair loss, acne, and behavioral changes. Anabolic androgenic steroid use has also been associated with hepatotoxicity and increased risk for heart disease. The US Food and Drug Administration and other regulatory agencies warn that dietary supplements containing anabolic steroids are dangerous (91094,109606,91138).

 Details
Epistane is an anabolic androgenic steroid, and more specifically a 17-alpha-alkylated androgen. Therefore, there is concern that epistane has hepatotoxic effects (91138). Also, epistane is structurally similar to epitiostanol, which has been associated with hepatotixicity in a case series of four patients (109606).

General
...A thorough evaluation of adverse effects has not been conducted.
However, epistane is an anabolic androgenic steroid. This drug class is associated with cardiac, hepatic, and hormonal adverse effects.
Serious Adverse Effects (Rare): Hepatotoxicity.
Hepatic ...Epistane is an anabolic androgenic steroid, and more specifically a 17-alpha-alkylated androgen. Therefore, there is concern that epistane has hepatotoxic effects (91138). Also, epistane is structurally similar to epitiostanol, which was associated with hepatotoxicity in a case series of four patients. Use of epitiostanol was determined to be the probable cause of severe anabolic steroid-induced cholestasis, jaundice, and pruritus. These patients were unresponsive to standard treatments and required albumin dialysis with Molecular Adsorbent Recirculating System (MARS) (109606).
