Resumen
The search for the perfect body, which is now an even stronger body, has
intensified throughout the years for sport performance and aesthetics reasons. The
purpose of this research was to collect and analyze various prescriptions of anabolic
androgenic steroids (AAS). We did an online analysis of websites, blogs and
Facebook profiles that discussed the cycles of the AAS and the different drug
combinations. We collected prescriptions from medical professionals directly from
steroid users, and the bibliographic work was done through the Academic Google
database. Accordingly to the data in this study, the cult for the perfect body is
becoming more and more precocious and extreme because users feel the need to
reach instant results, causing them to search for information on the AAS either
virtually from friends or from doctors. Thus, we can assume that there is a great need
for dissemination of reliable information about the risks associated with the
consumption of the AAS, and also for stricter control by the sanitary legislation over
the sales of these drugs. At last, the use of the AAS has become a public health
issue that is rapidly ascending in the Brazilian scenario.
