Hubei Anavar 50 tabs (10 mg/tab)

Oxandrolone – Anavar

Anavar is recognized as a mild anabolic steroid popular among body builders and athletes, primarily for its effectiveness in facilitating weight gain.

This compound is favored by many athletes owing to its property of not converting into estrogen, thereby minimizing the risk of gynecomastia and water retention.

Initially launched nearly five decades ago in the North American market, Anavar was primarily used to address various infertility issues and anemias, particularly in patients undergoing severe health crises. Although its clinical use has diminished over the years, Oxandrolone retains specific advantages over other substances, notably its resistance to estrogen conversion and minimal effect on the hypothalamic pituitary axis at lower dosages. This ensures that users experience minimal side effects related to testosterone suppression, such as loss of libido, impotence, or testicular atrophy.

Pharmacology

Oxandrin acts as both an anabolic and androgenic agent, mimicking the effects of testosterone. At lower doses, it showcases selective anabolic characteristics, while higher doses may elicit notable androgenic responses. Excessive dosages can inhibit the release of gonadotropins, reducing testosterone synthesis. Similar to other anabolic steroids, Oxandrin can adversely influence cholesterol levels, elevating ‘bad’ LDL cholesterol while lowering ‘good’ HDL cholesterol.

Indications

Currently, Oxandrolone is seldom used in clinical settings. Historically, it was effective for treating various forms of anemia and weight loss in individuals with HIV. Following widespread misuse, production ceased in 1989, but it has been revived by Savient Pharmaceuticals. Today, it may be prescribed for moribund patients seeking to recuperate lost weight after trauma, burns, or severe infections, and is sometimes paired with corticosteroids to manage bone pain associated with cancer.

Dosage

The recommended dosage for adults dealing with anemia or weight gain typically ranges from 2.5 to 20 mg per day, divided into 2-4 doses. Response to Oxandrin can vary, with some individuals benefiting from lower dosages of 30-150 mg/day. Treatment duration generally spans 3-6 weeks, with dosage adjustments made as needed after the initial assessment period. Oxandrin is available in tablet form, typically in 2.5 mg or 10 mg strengths.

Though generally mild at low doses, Oxandrin is not devoid of side effects. Minor effects—including abdominal discomfort, nausea, or diarrhea—may persist at lower dosages. However, high doses may elicit serious side effects such as:

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

Most side effects are typically reversible upon discontinuation of the drug.

Contraindications

Certain conditions warrant caution or prohibition in using Oxandrolone:

• suspected prostate cancer
• breast cancer in either gender
• pregnancy
• evidence of hypercalcemia
• allergy to anabolic steroids

Bodybuilders

Among body builders, Anavar is a popular choice due to its easy absorption, recommended to be taken with meals. Common dosing for men starts with one tablet, taken twice daily, while women can begin with a single tablet daily. Typically, athletes initiate treatment at lower doses, often stacking with other compounds like dianabol, winstrol, or anadriol, taking it for 4-8 weeks. Experts often suggest starting with 5 mg per day and gradually increasing over a 2-3 week period.

Women favor Anavar for its minimal virilizing effects at lower doses. However, taking more than 5 mg daily or extending treatment beyond 6 weeks can lead to noticeable virilization. Weight gain is typically steady, with most body builders observing results after 3-4 weeks.

Indicators of virilization include:

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

Women who notice signs of virilization should discontinue use immediately. While minor effects like acne often resolve, other signs may be permanent.

Warnings

Every anabolic steroid carries the risk of liver damage and jaundice. Documented cases of both liver dysfunction and malignancies exist, with liver cancer representing the most significant risk associated with anabolic steroids. Users should remain vigilant regarding these potential complications and may consider periodic liver function tests or annual ultrasounds.

Overdose

In general, anabolic steroids are secure, with overdose incidence being low. In the rare event of excessive consumption, while acute effects of Anavar are typically non-life-threatening, problematic symptoms may persist. A visit to the ER is advisable following any overdose, with treatment primarily supportive in nature.

Costs

The price range for Anavar stands between $100-$150 for 100 tablets at 2.5mg. Given its high demand, counterfeit variants frequently circulate and the risk of purchasing illegitimate products is prevalent. Users are urged to procure supplies from reliable sources. While some body builders source from Mexico, quality cannot be guaranteed. Conversely, legitimate products from pharmacies may cost between $700 and $1200 for 100 tablets.

Levels

Trace amounts of Anavar and its metabolites can be identified in urine, with prominent sports organizations conducting regular screenings for anabolic steroids. Metabolites may linger in the system for 7-14 days post-use.

Legal

As a controlled substance, the distribution and sale of Anavar is prohibited in the USA. The DEA vigilantly oversees its retail in pharmacies and online. Since this drug lacks clinical approval within the country, possessing it can lead to legal repercussions.
