SYN pharmaceuticals understands that there are medical cases of chronic genetic disorders associated with muscle wasting that benefit from the therapeutic effects of androgenic anabolic steroids (AAS). The uses of AAS have demonstrated the capability of the drugs to increase lean or fat-free muscle mass and physical robustness. That is why many healthy men and women in the world of sports took interest in taking AAS to enhance their physiological appearance and physical abilities.

Although medical experts have reservations about the beneficial outcomes of AAS in the treatment of genetic disorders, they believe that its use for both medical and nonmedica purposes call for more studies. Apparently, the uses of AAS as treatment are clinically promising but the efficacy of the drugs in long term use still needs further assesment.

Certain endpoints relevant to the completion of the treatment could lead to drug dependency as a means of improving physical functions in ways that can negatively affect a person’s quality of life.

What it Means to Be Parents to a Child with Chronic Genetic Disorder

Parents of children suffering from chronic genetic disorder deem their circumstances as stressful and outright challenging. First off, the apprehension over the well being of a child could be endless because genetic disorders are illnesses that last for long terms, while often linked to physical abnormalities, slow physical and mental development.

Secondly, even if parents would like to apply discipline to a child with genetic affliction, parents tend to be more protective and lenient over that child. The difference in the way parents respond to their other children’s misbehaviors must be well communicated and explained in order to avoid potential family conflicts.

Parents administering AAS to a child with chronic genetic disease must take extra care in keeping these types of drugs inaccessible to other children. Especially if a child is at that vulnerable stage of having awareness about the use of AAS to improve athletic performance and physical appearance. While AAS is a Schedule II drug that requires medical prescription in relation to its purchase, having AAS medications lying around the house without any form of restraint could be a potentially dangerous situation.

Not a few parents entertain notions of guilt in relation to their child’s genetic disorder. That could be so, if it becomes known that one of the parents comes from a family with a history of chronic disease. In some cases, parents have confusing thoughts that they tend to express by way of remorse, anger, fear or helplessness. All of which can cause strained relationships between couples and between parents and children.

Inasmuch as such conditions can also impact the well being of one or both parents, it’s important for them to have the guidance and support not only of healthcare providers. They should also get in touch with organizations that help people handle and face such problems based on their members’ own actual experiences.
