What are androgenic steroids?

Androgenic steroids, also known as anabolic steroids, are synthetic versions of the male hormone testosterone. These steroids are commonly used to increase muscle mass, strength, and athletic performance. However, they also have a number of negative side effects, including decreased sperm count, increased risk of heart disease, liver damage, and mood swings. They can also be addictive. These steroids are classified as Schedule III controlled substances in the United States, meaning they can only be obtained with a prescription.
