A patient with congenital protein-C deficiency was treated with stanozolol for 8
weeks to increase circulating levels of protein C. A rise in protein C was
achieved, accompanied by an increase in factor II, factor X, antithrombin III,
and protein S; but at the 8th week the patient suffered a transient ischemia
attack.
