Nilevar is remembered as the one of the first few steroids which could be taken orally. This brand of steroid is anabolic in nature and has the ability to contribute to a significant gain in the muscle mass of a human body. By structure it has a distinct similarity to nandrolone for the simple reason that it was synthesized from the basic structure of nandrolone modified only to make its oral dosage a viable alternative to the injectable nature of nandrolone. In effect and purpose this drug is fairly similar to nandrolone as well. Certain estrogen related side effects have been observed when used persistently.
