==Potential side effects==
Like other AAS, drostanolone can cause a variety of side effects, including:
* '''Virilization:''' This refers to the development of masculine characteristics in women, such as deepening of the voice, increased body hair growth, and clitoral enlargement.
* '''Acne:''' AAS can increase sebum production, leading to acne.
* '''Hair loss:''' Drostanolone can accelerate male pattern baldness.
* '''Cardiovascular issues:''' AAS can negatively affect cholesterol levels and increase the risk of cardiovascular disease.
* '''Liver damage:''' Although drostanolone is not 17α-alkylated, high doses or prolonged use can still potentially damage the liver.
* '''Mood swings:''' AAS can cause aggression, irritability, and mood swings.

==Non-medical uses==
''Drostanolone'' is used by some bodybuilders and athletes to increase muscle mass and strength. It is often used during "cutting cycles" to help preserve muscle mass while losing body fat. However, the use of AAS for non-medical purposes is not recommended due to the potential for serious side effects.

Treatment of DHT (androstan-17β-ol-3-one, stanolone) (1) with methyl formate and the strong base sodium methoxide gives (2). The newly added formyl function in the product is shown in the enol form. Catalytic hydrogenation reduces that function to a methyl group (3). The addition of hydrogen from the bottom face of the molecule leads to the formation of β-methyl isomer where the methyl group occupies the higher-energy axial position. Strong base-induced equilibration of the methyl group leads to the formation of the sterically favoured equatorial α-methyl isomer, affording dromostanolone (4).
