Are steroids still dangerous for an informed user?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes.: Must be physician monitored, have a legitmate need, and can never be taken orally ( quite dasngerous for liver and your cholesterol profile). Gels (topical), and injection are the only ways they should be given. A reminder! anabolic streroids are controlled substances (class-3). Possession without a prescription can be a felony.

Yes: I am assuming anabolic steroids. Too many side effects.
