Cholestatic hepatitis and jaundice occur with 17 alpha alkylated androgens at relatively low doses. If cholestic hepatitis with jaundice appears the stanozolol dose should be discontinued. If liver function tests become abnormal, the patient should be monitored closely and the aetiology determined. In patient with breast cancer anabolic steroid may cause hypercalcemia by stimulating osteolysis in this case the drug should be discontinued.
Edema with or without congestive heart failure may be a serious complication in patients with pre existing cardiac, renal, or hepatic disease.
Precautions:
General: Women should be observed for signs of virilisation ( deepening of the voice, hirsutism, acne, and clitoromegaly).

The insulin or oral hypoglycemic dosage may need adjustment in diabetic patients who receive anabolic steroids.
