What is Stanozolol?
Stanozolol, a synthetic steroid similar to testosterone, is produced by humans. Stanozolol can be used to treat hereditary edema. This condition causes swelling in the face, genitals, and bowel walls, as well as the throat. Stanozolol can reduce the severity and frequency of these attacks.
Stanozolol can reduce bradykinin and reduce the severity of bradykinin storms. Bradykinin storms could be the cause of some symptoms experienced by COVID-19 patients.
