Oxandrolone – Anavar

Anavar is a mild anabolic steroid widely popular among athletes and bodybuilders for its ability to aid in weight gain.

This steroid stands out due to its lack of conversion into estrogen, significantly reducing the risk of gynecomastia, and is praised for its lower water retention compared to other steroids.

Introduced nearly 50 years ago in North American markets, Anavar was initially utilized to treat various infertility disorders and anemia, particularly in patients experiencing weight loss in hospitals. Though its clinical use has dwindled, Anavar maintains two key advantages: it does not convert to estrogen, preventing breast enlargement in males, and it minimally impacts the hypothalamic-pituitary axis at low doses, thus avoiding the common side effects associated with other anabolic steroids.

Pharmacology

Oxandrin, both an anabolic and androgenic steroid, exhibits effects akin to testosterone. At low doses, it showcases selective anabolic properties, while higher doses exhibit potent androgenic effects. Excessive doses can inhibit gonadotropin release, leading to diminished testosterone synthesis, and may affect cholesterol levels by increasing harmful LDL and decreasing protective HDL.

Indications

Rarely used today in clinical settings, Anavar previously provided treatment for anemias, weight loss in HIV patients, and risk of osteoporosis. Due to its past misuse, production was halted by Searle in 1989, and production was picked up by Savient Pharmaceuticals under the name Oxandrin. It’s occasionally prescribed for moribund patients to facilitate weight gain post-trauma, burns, or serious infections, and is sometimes combined with corticosteroids for alleviating bone pain in cancer patients.

Dosage

For anemia treatment or weight gain induction, the standard adult dose ranges from 2.5 to 20 mg daily, split into 2-4 doses. Some may respond to lower doses, while others may require larger amounts up to 30-150 mg per day, with a typical treatment duration of 3-6 weeks. Oxandrin is offered in tablet forms at 2.5 mg or 10 mg.

Like all anabolic steroids, Oxandrin can produce side effects. At lower doses, side effects are generally mild, including abdominal discomfort, nausea, or diarrhea. However, higher doses may lead to:

• 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 of these side effects are reversible after discontinuation of the drug.

Contraindications

Oxandrolone is contraindicated in several conditions, including:

• suspected prostate cancer
• breast cancer, in both males and females
• pregnancy
• evidence of hypercalcemia
• allergy to anabolic steroids

Bodybuilders

Anavar is favored among bodybuilders due to its ease of absorption when taken with food. Typical dosing suggests men take one tablet twice daily while women generally require only one tablet. Most bodybuilders start at lower doses and may stack Anavar with other compounds like dianabol, winstrol, or anadriol. Treatment typically lasts 4-8 weeks, initiating at doses around 5 mg daily, with gradual increments over 2-3 weeks.

Women particularly appreciate Anavar for its low risk of virilization, though doses exceeding 5 mg daily for durations over 6 weeks may lead to masculinization. Weight gain is generally gradual, noticeable around weeks 3-4.

Signs of virilization may include:

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

Immediate cessation of the drug is advised upon experiencing virilizing symptoms, as while some effects may reverse, others might not.

Warnings

All anabolic steroids, including Anavar, pose risks of liver damage and jaundice. Severe complications such as liver dysfunction and tumors can arise, making awareness of such risks essential. Routine liver function tests or annual ultrasounds may be prudent for users.

Overdose

Anabolic steroids are relatively safe, and overdose likelihood is low. Even significant pill consumption is unlikely to cause life-threatening situations; however, discomfort is expected. Should overdose occur, a visit to the emergency room is warranted, with supportive care being the standard treatment for all steroid overdoses.

Costs

Anavar’s price ranges from $100 to $150 for a bottle of 100 tablets (2.5 mg each). Due to high demand, counterfeit products are prevalent. Buyers must procure from reputable sources, even though some bodybuilders source supplies from Mexico, where quality cannot be guaranteed. Legitimate Anavar from pharmacies can cost between $700 and $1200 for 100 tablets.

Levels

Both Anavar and its metabolites can be detected in urine, with major sports organizations routinely screening for anabolic steroids. Anavar metabolites may remain detectable for 7-14 days post last dosage.

Legal

As a controlled substance, Anavar is illegal to sell or distribute in the U.S. The DEA actively monitors sales in pharmacies and online. Possession of Anavar without clinical justification is considered a violation of the law.
