History

• Equipoise is a veterinary steroid mainly used on horses. It is not meant for use on humans in the United States and is only available through veterinary clinics.
  
  

Mild Side Effects

• The side effects of Equipoise are generally mild. According to steroid.com, many people report an increased appetite while taking the drug.
  
  

Water Retention

• You may experience water retention while take Equiposie. The side effect will be more evident than if you were taking Deca-Durabolin, but less than the side effects that occur with testosterone.
  
  

Sexual Side Effects

• If you're taking a moderate level of Equipoise, you may experience a minor estrogen-related side effect, which can result in sexual dysfunction. It suppresses your hormones so you may want to take an injectable testosterone, as well.
  
  

Effects in Appearance

• People taking a higher dose of the steroid may experience gynecomastia, of the enlargement of male breasts. Equipoise can also result in androgenic side effects such as acne, oily skin, hair loss and increased aggression.
  
  

Considerations

• The best effects of this drug can been seen when it is used for a longer period of time--at least 10 weeks. Your muscles will be very defined and solid, rather than the smooth bulk you may see when using androgens.
