MultiPharm HealthCare Anavar 100 tabs (10 mg/tab)

Oxandrolone – Anavar

Anavar, a premier anabolic steroid, is favored among athletes and bodybuilders for its efficacy in weight gain. Its allure lies in the minimal conversion to estrogen, reducing the risk of gynecomastia and water retention, which users appreciate. Introduced nearly 50 years ago in North America, Anavar was initially prescribed for various infertility disorders and debilitating conditions. Today, while its clinical use is limited, Anavar remains popular due to two key benefits: it avoids estrogen conversion and has a negligible impact on the hypothalamic-pituitary axis at low doses, thereby preventing testosterone suppression and associated side effects like loss of libido and impotence.

Pharmacology

As both an anabolic and androgenic compound, Oxandrin mimics testosterone’s effects, showcasing selective anabolic properties at lower doses. High doses can trigger androgenic activity with potential suppression of gonadotropins, leading to decreased testosterone synthesis. Additionally, like other anabolic steroids, Oxandrin can negatively affect cholesterol levels, elevating LDL cholesterol while lowering HDL cholesterol.

Indications

With a historical background in treating anemias and weight loss associated with HIV, the clinical application of Anavar diminished after abuse led to production halts by Searle in 1989. Nevertheless, Oxandrin is still prescribed for weight gain in critically ill patients post-trauma or infection, sometimes alongside corticosteroids for bone pain relief.

Dosage

For addressing anemia or weight gain, the recommended adult dosage ranges from 2.5-20 mg/day, divided into 2-4 doses. Some may respond to as little as 30-150 mg/day, with treatment typically lasting 3-6 weeks. The available formulations include 2.5 mg and 10 mg tablets. Although the side effects at low doses tend to be mild, they can become more severe at higher doses, including:

• 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 side effects are reversible upon discontinuation.

Contraindications

Oxandrolone should not be administered in the following conditions:

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

Bodybuilders

Among bodybuilders, Anavar is highly regarded for its absorbability, ideally taken with a meal. Men typically consume one tablet twice daily, while women take one tablet per day, often starting at lower doses. Many combine Anavar with other steroids like Dianabol, Winstrol, or Anadriol, adhering to a treatment duration of 4-8 weeks. Initial doses are commonly set at 5 mg daily, gradually increasing over 2-3 weeks. Favored by women for its limited virilizing effects at lower doses, caution is essential as doses above 5 mg/day for more than six weeks can lead to masculinization. Weight gain is typically gradual, with noticeable effects seen in 3-4 weeks. Signs of virilization include:

• Deep voice
• Decreased libido
• Clitoral enlargement
• Acne
• Excessive hair growth

Immediate cessation of the drug is advised if virilization occurs, as some signs may not fully reverse.

Warnings

All anabolic steroids pose risks to liver health, with potential complications like jaundice and liver cancer. Regular monitoring of liver function through enzyme tests and ultrasounds is recommended for those using Anavar.

Overdose

Overdosing on Anavar is rare, as acute effects are generally not life-threatening; however, a healthcare professional should be consulted if ingesting an excessive amount.

Costs

Anavar’s price for 100 tablets (2.5mg) ranges from $100 to $150. However, due to high demand, many counterfeit products flood the market. It’s crucial to source from reputable suppliers. Genuine Anavar from pharmacies can cost between $700-1200 for 100 tablets.

Levels

Anavar and its metabolites can be detected in urine, remaining present for 7-14 days post-administration. Major sports organizations routinely screen for anabolic steroids.

Legal

As a controlled substance in the USA, the distribution and possession of Anavar is illegal. The DEA vigilantly oversees the sale of this drug both in pharmacies and online, categorizing personal possession as a criminal offense.
