Oxandrolone – Anavar

Anavar, a renowned anabolic steroid, is favored by athletes and bodybuilders for its effectiveness in weight gain. Its popularity lies in its unique property of not converting to estrogen, leading to a reduced risk of gynecomastia and minimal water retention.Originally introduced to the North American market nearly 50 years ago, Anavar was initially used for treating infertility disorders and various anemias. Although its clinical use has diminished, it remains a preferred choice due to two major advantages: it avoids estrogen conversion and has little impact on the hypothalamic-pituitary axis. This means users are less likely to experience common steroid side effects like loss of libido or impotence.

Pharmacology

Oxandrin, the active component, possesses both anabolic and androgenic traits akin to testosterone. With selective anabolic properties at lower doses and potent androgenic effects at higher ones, Oxandrin can suppress gonadotropins release, potentially decreasing testosterone synthesis. Additionally, it raises LDL cholesterol (the “bad” type) while lowering HDL cholesterol (the “good” type). Notably, Anavar is one of the few anabolic steroids that does not convert to estrogen at lower doses.

Indications

Historically, Oxandrolone has been used to treat a variety of conditions including anemias and weight loss in HIV patients. However, following abuse concerns, production ceased in 1989. Currently produced by Savient Pharmaceuticals as Oxandrin, this drug is occasionally prescribed for patients recovering from trauma or serious infections, often in conjunction with corticosteroids for cancer-related bone pain.

Dosage

For anemia or weight gain, adults typically receive 2.5-20 mg/day divided into 2-4 doses. Individual responses vary, with some needing up to 150 mg/day. Treatment duration generally lasts 3-6 weeks, requiring gradual dose increases if no improvement is noted. Oxandrin is available in 2.5 mg and 10 mg tablet forms.

Side Effects

As with all anabolic steroids, Oxandrin comes with potential side effects. At lower dosages, side effects are generally mild, including minor abdominal discomfort and nausea, while higher dosages may lead to:

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

Fortunately, most side effects are reversible upon discontinuation of the drug.

Contraindications

Oxandrolone should be avoided in patients with:

• suspected prostate cancer
• breast cancer (in males or females)
• pregnancy
• evidence of hypercalcemia
• an allergy to anabolic steroids

Bodybuilders

The bodybuilding community often utilizes Anavar due to its rapid absorption. Typically, men take one tablet twice daily, while women take one tablet daily. Many athletes combine Anavar with other steroids such as Dianabol, Winstrol, or Anadriol to minimize side effects. Treatment typically ranges from 4 to 8 weeks, starting at 5 mg/day with gradual increases over a few weeks. Women favor Anavar for its low virilizing effects; however, doses exceeding 5 mg/day for more than 6 weeks may lead to unwanted masculinization.

Signs of Virilization

Signs may include:

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

Women displaying virilizing signs should cease use immediately, as certain effects may not be reversible.

Warnings

Like all anabolic steroids, liver damage and jaundice are potential risks with Oxandrolone use. Serious complications, including liver cancer, necessitate regular monitoring and perhaps annual liver ultrasounds.

Overdose

Though overdose of anabolic steroids is rare and generally non-life-threatening, excessive ingestion may result in discomfort and warrants a visit to an emergency room. Supportive care is standard for steroid overdose treatment.

Costs

The cost of Anavar varies, with 100 tablets (2.5 mg) priced between $100 and $150. Due to high demand, counterfeit products are prevalent—always procure from reputable sources. Genuine Anavar from pharmacies can range between $700 and $1200 for 100 tablets.

Levels

Anavar metabolites are easily identifiable in urine, with most major sports organizations conducting regular screenings. Some metabolites can persist in the body for 7-14 days after the final dose.

Legal

Anavar is classified as a controlled substance in the USA, with selling and distribution prohibited. The DEA monitors its distribution closely; possession can be deemed illegal since Anavar lacks clinical approval.
