What this demo assumes
- Recovery after stopping anabolic steroids varies from person to person. No outcome is guaranteed.
- Lab results alone cannot decide care. In a live service, a qualified clinician would interpret them with history and symptoms.
- Remote where suitable; in-person assessment when needed. Not everyone can be managed remotely.
- Sampling method and test panel depend on laboratory validation. A finger-prick sample may not support every marker.
- Any prescribing would be an independent clinical decision and may not be appropriate.
