does anavar/winstrol effect depo-provera?

like the question said...i've been on the shot for about 1.5 years and i want to do a cycle of either oral winstrol or anavar but i don't want it to mess with my birth control. does anyone know if the anabolics will effect the depo? yeah and i wanted to know if 'body research' thai winstrol (oral) is legit if anyone knows. thanks in advance! :thumbsup:

excellent question. winstrol does have fairly high affinity for the progesterone receptor, higher than progesterone, and it acts as an antagonist there, so you will see some competitive inhibition of the effectiveness of your depo-provera shots. the degree depends on how high the MPA's affinity is for the PR compared to progesterone.

i'm not sure if it'll affect it enough to ruin its efficacy. interesting enough, depo-provera seems to have a slight androgenic/anabolic effect.

so you're right to worry about it. i don't think it'll be enough at low doses to be a problem. var will certainly not cause an issue.

i checked the drug interaction between depo provera and oxandrolone (anavar) at medscape.com as well as winstrol and it didn't come up with any results. i get a 150mg injection of provera every 3 months and if i decide to cycle anavar it would be a pretty low dosage so my guess would be that if there was any interaction it would be minimal. it's gonna be a while before i start cycling var so i have plenty of time to look up info and i'll probably ask my dr about it too.

you'll be fine cycling var, basically guaranteed. with winny you might find some interaction. as you might imagine this isn't the sort of thing that's going to come up in drug interactions because winny's not the sort of thing they prescribe for women, much less in parallel with depo-provera...

let us know how it goes.

everyone so far seems to choose var over winny so i think that is what i'm gonna go with. i probably won't start cycling it until june or so since i have some ephedra on it's way and i want to get my diet/exercise schedule back on track for the summer.

Keep us posted on results and what u decide to do

i plan to
