|---|---|---|---|
| Somatropin (Human Growth Hormone) | Rx-only; Schedule III/IV equivalent in most regions | Counterfeit rate near total — independent tests find most 'HGH' is hCG, IGF, or nothing; Real GH at abuse doses: insulin resistance, carpal tunnel, organ growth (acromegaly features) | ~$2–$10 per IU grey-market |

| Dutasteride (Avodart) | Rx-only — not controlled | Same post-finasteride-spectrum concerns, potentially stronger (broader 5-alpha-reduction blockade); Long half-life — weeks to clear; sides persist longer if they occur | ~$0.40–$2 per capsule grey-market generics |
