Also in 1962, the ] was passed, amending the ] to require drug manufacturers to provide proof of the effectiveness of their drugs before approval.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.fda.gov/AboutFDA/WhatWeDo/History/CentennialofFDA/CentennialEditionofFDAConsumer/ucm093787.htm |title=Promoting Safe and Effective Drugs for 100 Years |work=The Kefauver-Harris Drug Amendments |publisher=U.S. Food and Drug Administration }}</ref> The FDA implemented its ] (DESI) program to study and regulate drugs, including stanozolol, that had been introduced prior to the amendment. The DESI program was intended to classify all pre-1962 drugs that were already on the market as effective, ineffective, or needing further study.<ref>{{cite web | work = Pharmacy Today | date = August 2008 | url = https://www.fda.gov/downloads/drugs/guidancecomplianceregulatoryinformation/enforcementactivitiesbyfda/selectedenforcementactionsonunapproveddrugs/ucm119899.pdf | title = FDA aims to remove unapproved drugs from market: Risk-based enforcement program focuses on removing potentially harmful products | publisher = United States Food and Drug Administration }}</ref> The FDA enlisted the ] of the ] to evaluate publications on relevant drugs under the DESI program.<ref>{{cite web | work = National Academies of Sciences archives. | url = http://www.nasonline.org/about-nas/history/archives/collections/des-1966-1969-1.html | title = The Drug Efficacy Study of the National Research Council's Division of Medical Sciences, 1966-1969 }}</ref>

In June 1970 the FDA announced its conclusions on the effectiveness of certain AAS, including stanozolol, based on the NAS/NRC reports made under DESI. The drugs were classified as probably effective as adjunctive therapy in the treatment of senile and postmenopausal ] but only as an adjunct, and in ] (with a specific caveat for dwarfism, "until growth hormone is more available"), and as lacking substantial evidence of effectiveness for several other indications. Specifically, the FDA found a lack of efficacy for stanozolol as "an adjunct to promote body tissue-building processes and to reverse tissue-depleting processes in such conditions as malignant diseases and chronic nonmalignant diseases; debility in elderly patients, and other emaciating diseases; gastrointestinal disorders resulting in alterations of normal metabolism; use during pre-operative and postoperative periods in undernourished patients and poor-risk surgical cases due to traumatism; use in infants, children, and adolescents who do not reach an adequate weight; supportive treatment to help restore or maintain a favorable metabolic balance, as in postsurgical, postinfectious, and convalescent patients; of value in pre- operative patients who have lost tissue from a disease process or who have associated symptoms, such as anorexia; retention and utilization of calcium; surgical applications; gastrointestinal disease, malnourished adults, and chronic illness; pediatric nutritional problems; prostatic carcinoma; and endocrine deficiencies."<ref name=FedReg1970>{{cite journal | title = Food and Drug Administration Notice.DESI 7630.

In 1980 the FDA removed the dwarfism indication from the label for stanozolol since ] drugs had come on the market, and mandated that the label for stanozolol and other steroids say: "As adjunctive therapy in senile and postmenopausal osteoporosis. AAS are without value as primary therapy but may be of value as adjunctive therapy.
