Genesis Oxandrolone Tablets 100 tabs (10 mg/tab) EXPIRATION

Oxandrolone – Anavar

Anavar is a mild anabolic steroid popular among athletes and bodybuilders for its ability to facilitate weight gain. A key advantage is its non-conversion into estrogen, significantly reducing the risk of gynecomastia and water retention.

Introduced in North America nearly 50 years ago, Oxandrolone was originally used to treat infertility, anemia, and weight loss in patients. Its medical application has diminished over time, yet it continues to present significant benefits: minimal estrogen conversion and low impact on the hypothalamic-pituitary axis. Consequently, users generally do not experience common side effects like loss of libido or impotence.

Pharmacology

Oxandrin possesses both anabolic and androgenic properties, mimicking testosterone effects. At lower doses, it offers targeted anabolic benefits, while higher doses can lead to significant androgenic activity. However, it’s distinctive as it doesn’t convert to estrogen at low doses, impacting cholesterol levels by increasing LDL and decreasing HDL.

Indications

Today, Oxandrolone finds limited use in clinical settings but is prescribed for weight gain in patients recovering from trauma, burns, or infections. Previous uses included treating various anemias and osteoporosis. The current manufacturer is Savient Pharmaceutical.

Dosage

For therapeutic purposes, adult doses range from 2.5 to 20 mg/day, administered in 2-4 divided doses. Responses vary, with some individuals benefiting from lower doses, while others may require 30-150 mg/day. Treatment duration typically spans 3-6 weeks, with adjustments based on response. Oxandrin is available in 2.5 mg or 10 mg tablets.

Common side effects are typically mild at low doses and may include abdominal discomfort or nausea. However, high doses can lead to more severe issues, such as:

• jaundice
• hepatic necrosis
• liver cancer
• general malaise
• testicular atrophy
• hair loss
• breast enlargement
• gastrointestinal discomfort
• acne and oily skin
• diarrhea
• menstrual irregularities

Most side effects are reversible upon cessation of the drug.

Contraindications

There are specific conditions where Oxandrolone should not be prescribed, including:

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

Bodybuilders

Highly regarded among bodybuilders, Anavar is best taken with meals for optimal absorption. Typical dosages are one tablet twice daily for men and one tablet daily for women. Many bodybuilders initiate treatment at lower doses, and it is often stacked with other steroids like dianabol or winstrol to minimize side effects. Treatment typically lasts from 4-8 weeks, starting at 5 mg/day and increasing gradually over 2-3 weeks.

Women find Anavar appealing due to its low virilization risk; however, doses over 5 mg/day for more than 6 weeks can result in masculinization signs. Weight gain tends to be slow and may become noticeable after 3-4 weeks.

Signs of virilization may include:

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

If virilizing symptoms appear, women should discontinue use immediately, as some effects may not be reversible.

Warnings

All anabolic steroids carry a risk of liver damage and jaundice. Instances of liver dysfunction and tumors have occurred, making awareness of liver cancer essential. Regular liver enzyme testing and annual ultrasounds may be prudent for users.

Overdose

Overdoses of anabolic steroids are rare and seldom life-threatening. Even in excessive doses, Anavar typically does not pose acute risks, but medical attention should be sought for support in emergencies.

Costs

The price for a 100-tablet supply (2.5mg) of Anavar averages $100-$150, although counterfeit versions are prevalent. Reputable suppliers are crucial, with legitimate pharmacy prices ranging between $700-1200 for authentic products.

Levels

Testing for Anavar and its metabolites is common, staying detectable in urine for up to 14 days post-administration. Major sports organizations routinely screen athletes for this steroid.

Legal

Anavar is classified as a controlled substance in the USA, with sales and distribution prohibited. The DEA monitors both pharmacy and online sales. Possession for non-clinical use in the USA is illegal.
