    Abstract:
    Health care professionals are urged to be alert to the potential for adverse effects common to the use of anabolic steroids by athletes and others, including high school and college students active in varsity sports or body lifting. The Department of Health, Division of Pharmacy Services and Drug Control asks for cooperation and assistance in helping combat the illegal diversion by physicians and pharmacies of these hazardous drugs and to ensure that these drugs are available to patients only through legitimate channels. Act 249 of 1989 was enacted to prevent the distribution and use of illegal anabolic steroids and growth hormones and for purposes of defining and setting penalties for the illegal use.
