British Dragon Oxanabol Tablets 100 tabs (10 mg/tab)

Oxandrolone – Anavar

Anavar is a mild anabolic steroid favored by athletes and bodybuilders for its ability to promote weight gain effectively.

This product’s popularity among athletes can be attributed to its unique property of not converting into estrogen, significantly reducing the risk of gynecomastia and minimizing water retention compared to other anabolic agents.

Introduced to the North American market nearly 50 years ago, Anavar was initially designed to treat various conditions, including infertility, anemia, and weight loss in patients suffering from debilitating illnesses. Today, despite its limited use in clinical settings, Anavar stands out among anabolic steroids for two key reasons: it remains non-estrogenic at low doses and does not notably impact the hypothalamic-pituitary axis. Thus, individuals using Anavar are less likely to experience common side effects like loss of libido or impotence, which are often associated with other steroids.

Pharmacology

Oxandrin, synonymous with Anavar, exhibits both anabolic and androgenic properties. Its effects mirror those of testosterone, with selective anabolic effects at lower doses and significant androgenic activity at higher doses. High doses may lead to hormonal suppression, increased LDL cholesterol, and decreased HDL cholesterol levels, although Anavar remains unique in its low estrogenic conversion.

Indications

Despite its historical medical applications for anemia and weight loss in HIV patients, Oxandrolone is infrequently prescribed today due to concerns over misuse. Currently manufactured by Savient Pharmaceuticals under the Oxandrin name, some doctors may still utilize it for patients recovering from trauma, burns, or serious infections, occasionally in combination with corticosteroids for cancer-related bone pain management.

Dosage

For anemia treatments or weight gain, the recommended adult dosage ranges from 2.5-20 mg/day, divided into 2-4 doses. Individual responses vary, necessitating dosage adjustments from 30-150 mg/day over a typical 3-6 week therapy duration. Tablets come in 2.5 mg or 10 mg dosages.

While low doses generally incur few adverse effects, higher doses can provoke issues such as:

• jaundice
• rare hepatic necrosis
• liver cancers
• general malaise
• testicular atrophy
• hair loss
• breast enlargement
• stomach cramps and nausea
• acne and oily skin
• diarrhea
• menstrual irregularities

Most of these side effects can be reversed upon discontinuation of the drug.

Contraindications

Oxandrolone should not be used in individuals with:

• suspected prostate cancer
• breast cancer (male or female)
• pregnancy
• evidence of hypercalcemia
• an allergy to anabolic steroids

Bodybuilders

Anavar is a popular choice among bodybuilders due to its efficient absorption when taken with food. Typical male dosing is one tablet twice daily, while females commonly take one tablet daily. Most start with lower doses and may combine Anavar with other anabolic agents like dianabol, winstrol, or anadriol, progressing the treatment duration between 4-8 weeks and typically commencing with 5 mg daily.

Women appreciate Anavar for its minimal virilizing effects at low dosages. However, doses exceeding 5 mg daily or extended use beyond 6 weeks may lead to signs of virilization, which include:

• deepening voice
• reduced libido
• clitoral enlargement
• acne
• excessive hair growth

Women exhibiting any virilizing symptoms should cease usage immediately; although some symptoms may revert, others may not.

Warnings

All anabolic steroids pose potential risks to liver health, including jaundice and liver tumors. Users should remain vigilant about possible liver dysfunction, making regular monitoring of liver enzyme levels and potentially annual ultrasonography advisable.

Overdose

Overdosing on Anavar is rare, with acute effects seldom posing severe risk. Nevertheless, if excessive intake occurs, medical attention is strongly recommended, as overdose treatment is primarily supportive.

Costs

The price of Anavar varies significantly, with 100-tablet (2.5 mg) bottles costing between $100-$150. Due to high demand, counterfeit products are prevalent; thus, acquiring Anavar from reliable suppliers is crucial, as many counterfeit versions circulate, especially from sources in Mexico. Conversely, authentic Anavar from pharmacies can cost between $700-$1200 for a 100-tablet supply.

Levels

Anavar metabolites are easily detectable in urine, leading to regular testing by major sports organizations. These metabolites may remain traceable for 7-14 days after discontinuation.

Legal

As a controlled substance in the USA, the sale and distribution of Anavar are illegal, with the DEA actively monitoring its availability in pharmacies and online platforms. Since Anavar is not sanctioned for clinical use in the USA, even personal possession of this drug can incur legal ramifications.
