Frequently Asked Questions
What are performance-enhancing drugs?
Performance and image-enhancing drugs (PIEDs) include substances used to improve muscle size, strength or physical appearance. These commonly include anabolic steroids, testosterone derivatives, SARMs and peptide-based compounds. Many of these drugs are obtained outside medical care and may be used in high doses or combinations.
Why medical monitoring is important
Non-prescribed steroid use can affect several parts of the body including:
• Heart and cholesterol levels
• Hormone production
• Liver function
• Blood pressure
• Fertility
• Mental health
Long-term use at high doses has been associated with cardiovascular disease, liver injury and other health problems.
Early monitoring allows doctors to detect issues before they become serious.
