Magnus Pharmaceuticals Oxandrolone 100 tabs (10 mg/tab)

Oxandrolone – Anavar

Anavar, a popular mild anabolic steroid, is widely favored by athletes and bodybuilders due to its ability to assist in weight gain.

This drug is particularly appealing to athletes because it does not convert into estrogen, which minimizes the risk of gynecomastia and reduces water retention compared to alternatives.

Introduced nearly 50 years ago, Anavar was originally used for treating various infertility disorders, anemias, and patients suffering from severe illness. Its unique properties make it less invasive, not causing the significant suppression of testosterone seen with other steroids and avoiding estrogen-related complications.

Pharmacology

As a dual-purpose substance, Oxandrolone exhibits androgenic effects similar to testosterone at higher doses, yet maintains selective anabolic properties at lower dosages. It does, however, elevate levels of “bad” LDL cholesterol while lowering “good” HDL cholesterol.

Indications

While infrequently used in modern medicine, Anavar has been prescribed for specific cases such as anemias and HIV weight loss. Today, it is often indicated for patients recovering from trauma, burns, or infections, sometimes in combination with corticosteroids.

Dosage

The recommended dosage varies, with adults typically taking 2.5-20 mg per day divided into 2-4 doses. Dosage may range from 30-150 mg for some users as therapy progresses, usually lasting 3-6 weeks.

At lower doses, side effects tend to be mild, including abdominal discomfort or nausea, while higher doses may lead to more serious concerns such as:

• jaundice
• hepatotoxicity
• liver tumors
• fatigue
• testicular shrinkage
• alopecia
• gynaecomastia
• abdominal pain, nausea
• acne, oily complexion
• diarrhea
• menstrual disruptions
• testicular atrophy

Most adverse effects remedy themselves post-cessation of the drug.

Contraindications

Oxandrolone should not be administered to individuals with:

• suspected prostate cancer
• gender-specific breast cancer
• pregnancy
• hypercalcemia
• known anabolic steroid allergies

Bodybuilders

Anavar is particularly popular among bodybuilders due to its efficacy. Recommended daily dosages include one tablet twice a day for men and one daily for women, initially starting low. It is often stacked with other steroids like dianabol or winstrol, typically for a duration of 4-8 weeks. Experts often recommend starting at 5 mg per day, gradually increasing over weeks.

Women appreciate Anavar for its minimal virilization risk at low doses, but exceeding this can lead to symptoms of masculinization, such as:

• deeper voice
• reduced libido
• clitoromegaly
• acne
• excess hair growth

Any sign of virilization warrants immediate discontinuation, although some effects may not be reversible.

Warnings

All anabolic steroids, including Anavar, pose liver damage risks, with potential for jaundice and even liver tumors. Regular monitoring of liver health, including enzyme checks and ultrasounds, is advisable.

Overdose

Anavar is generally safe, with overdose cases likely resulting in discomfort rather than severe danger. A visit to the Emergency Room is recommended for overdose situations, where supportive care is standard.

Costs

The price for 100 tablets (2.5mg) of Anavar typically ranges from $100-$150. Due to its popularity, counterfeit products are common, hence purchasing from reputable sources is crucial. Legal medications may cost between $700-$1200.

Levels

Anavar and its metabolites can be detected in urine, with screening prevalent in many sports organizations 7-14 days post-dose.

Legal

As a controlled substance in the USA, Anavar’s sale and distribution are illegal, and personal possession may carry criminal implications.
