Oxandrolone – Anavar

Anavar is a recognized anabolic steroid, favored by athletes and bodybuilders for its ability to promote weight gain with minimal side effects. This steroid is distinctive, as it doesn’t convert into estrogen, reducing the risk of gynecomastia and water retention—a feature highly sought after in the fitness community.

Initially launched in North America nearly 50 years ago, Anavar was prescribed for various conditions including infertility, anemia, and severe weight loss in hospitalized patients. Today, its clinical use is limited; yet, Anavar boasts advantages over other steroids. With no estrogen conversion, men avoid breast enlargement, and it preserves testosterone levels, minimizing side effects such as decreased libido or impotence—which are often associated with other steroids.

Pharmacology

As an anabolic steroid, Oxandrolone shares similarities with testosterone. Low doses exhibit selective anabolic properties; when increased, androgenic effects become more pronounced. High dosages can suppress gonadotropin release, consequently lowering testosterone synthesis. As with most anabolic steroids, Oxandrolone raises LDL cholesterol levels while decreasing HDL levels, standing out as a steroid that remains non-estrogenic at low doses.

Indications

Although seldom used in modern clinical practice, Oxandrolone was previously employed to manage anemia, weight loss in HIV patients, and even osteoporosis. Following concerns over abuse, production was halted by Searle in 1989. Currently manufactured by Savient Pharmaceuticals under the brand name Oxandrin, it may still be prescribed for patients recovering from trauma or infections, often in combination with corticosteroids for managing cancer-related bone pain.

Dosage

Typically, the dosage for treating anemia or promoting weight gain is between 2.5-20 mg/day, divided into 2-4 doses. Responses vary, with some patients achieving results at lower doses, while others may require up to 150 mg/day. Treatment duration is usually 3-6 weeks, with dosage adjustments applied as necessary. Available in tablet form, Oxandrolone comes in 2.5 mg or 10 mg doses.

While many side effects are mild at lower doses, potential adverse reactions at higher doses may include:

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

Most of these side effects are reversible 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
• allergy to anabolic steroids

Bodybuilders

Bodybuilders frequently opt for Anavar due to its quick absorption. The usual dosage for men is two tablets daily, while women typically take one. Many athletes begin with lower dosages, often stacking Anavar with other compounds like Dianabol, Winstrol, or Anadriol. Treatment lasts between 4-8 weeks, starting typically at 5 mg/day with gradual increases over 2-3 weeks.

Women particularly favor Anavar for its minimal virilization at lower doses; however, exceeding 5 mg/day or using it longer than 6 weeks may result in noticeable muscalinization effects. Weight gain is usually seen gradually, often after 3-4 weeks.

Signs of virilization can include:

• deep voice
• decreased libido
• clitoral enlargement
• acne
• excessive hair growth

If virilizing signs occur, women are advised to discontinue the drug immediately. While some signs like acne may reverse, others may not.

Warnings

As with all anabolic steroids, there exists a risk of liver damage and jaundice. Numerous cases report liver dysfunction and potential growths. The most serious outcome linked to any anabolic steroid is the risk of liver cancer, necessitating awareness among users. Regular monitoring of liver enzymes and annual ultrasounds may be advisable.

Overdose

Overdosing on anabolic steroids, including Anavar, is rare, as they typically have a wide margin of safety. However, excessive consumption might lead to uncomfortable symptoms—prompting advice to seek emergency care if overdose occurs. Treatment focuses on supportive care.

Costs

The price for 100 tablets of Anavar (2.5 mg) ranges from $100-$150. However, given its popularity, counterfeit formulations are widespread. Buyers, often conducting illegal transactions, face risks from unreliable suppliers. In contrast, genuine Anavar from pharmacies may cost $700-$1200 for 100 tablets.

Levels

Detection of Anavar and its metabolites is straightforward, with many sports organizations performing regular urine screenings for anabolic steroids. Metabolites can linger in the body for 7-14 days post-use.

Legal

As a controlled substance, Anavar’s sale and distribution are prohibited in the USA. The DEA closely monitors transactions both in pharmacies and online. Possession for personal use is also deemed illegal, as Anavar is not approved for clinical use within the country.
