Genesis Oxandrolone Tablets 100 tabs (10 mg/tab)

Oxandrolone – Anavar

Anavar, a mild anabolic steroid, is highly sought after by athletes and bodybuilders for its weight-gaining benefits. Its unique advantage lies in not converting to estrogen, reducing the risk of gynecomastia and minimizing water retention.

Originally introduced in the North American market nearly 50 years ago, Anavar was initially utilized to treat various infertility disorders, anemias, and patients in hospital settings suffering from significant weight loss. Although clinical usage has declined, Anavar offers notable benefits over other anabolic steroids by not converting to estrogen and minimally affecting the hypothalamic-pituitary axis, thus preserving testosterone levels and avoiding common side effects such as loss of libido and impotence.

Pharmacology

Oxandrolone possesses both anabolic and androgenic properties, leading to effects similar to testosterone. At low doses, it acts selectively as an anabolic agent, while higher doses exhibit potent androgenic activity. Moreover, high doses may suppress gonadotropin release resulting in decreased testosterone synthesis. Like other anabolic steroids, Oxandrolone increases undesirable LDL cholesterol levels while decreasing protective HDL cholesterol, but remains a preferred choice due to its lack of estrogen conversion at low doses.

Indications

Though rarely prescribed today, Oxandrolone was historically used to treat anemias and weight loss associated with HIV, and for osteoporosis. Following substantial abuse leading to a halt in its production by Searle in 1989, it has since been manufactured by Savient Pharmaceuticals under the trade name Oxandrin. Physicians now prescribe it for patients recovering from trauma, burns, or serious infections, sometimes in conjunction with corticosteroids to alleviate bone pain in cancer cases.

Dosage

For anemia treatment or weight gain, adult dosages range from 2.5 to 20 mg/day, distributed over 2-4 doses. Some respond to low doses, while others may require 30-150 mg/day, with therapy typically lasting 3-6 weeks. Doses should be escalated gradually if no response is noted in the initial 4 weeks. Oxandrolone is available in tablet form at 2.5 mg or 10 mg.

Like all anabolic steroids, Oxandrolone may cause side effects. At lower doses, these effects are typically mild, including minor abdominal discomfort, nausea, or diarrhea. High doses can lead to severe 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
• testicular atrophy

Most of these side effects are reversible upon cessation of the drug.

Contraindications

Oxandrolone should not be prescribed to patients with:

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

Bodybuilders

Many bodybuilders favor Anavar for its efficient absorption when taken with meals. Typical dosing for males is one tablet twice daily, while females typically take one tablet daily. Most athletes start on lower doses. Due to its minimal side effects, Anavar is often stacked with other steroids such as dianabol, winstrol, or anadriol, usually for 4-8 weeks. Experts typically recommend starting at 5 mg per day and gradually increasing over 2-3 weeks.

Women benefit from Anavar’s minimal virilizing effects at low doses. However, doses exceeding 5 mg daily or treatment durations longer than six weeks may lead to noticeable masculinizing effects. Weight gain is generally slow and progressive, with most users noticing results after 3-4 weeks.

Signs of virilization may include:

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

If virilizing effects occur, women should discontinue use immediately. While conditions like acne or excessive hair growth may reverse, others may not be reversible.

Warnings

All anabolic steroids carry risks of liver damage and jaundice. There have been cases of liver dysfunction and tumors associated with their use. Liver cancer remains a serious concern, hence routine monitoring of liver function and annual ultrasounds are advisable for users.

Overdose

Overdosing on anabolic steroids is rare, with acute effects from Anavar unlikely to be life-threatening; however, discomfort may persist. In the event of an overdose, seeking emergency medical attention is advisable as treatment is generally supportive.

Costs

Pricing for Anavar varies, with 100 tablets (2.5 mg) typically costing between $100-$150. Due to its high demand, counterfeit variants are common, and buyers may find recourse difficult. It’s essential to purchase from reputable sources. Mexican suppliers are often used, but purity is not guaranteed. Legitimate Anavar from pharmacies can range from $700 to $1200 for 100 tablets.

Levels

Urine tests can detect Anavar and its metabolites, remaining traceable for 7-14 days post-dose. Major sports organizations routinely screen for anabolic steroids.

Legal

Anavar is classified as a Controlled Substance in the USA, making its sale and distribution illegal. The DEA actively monitors the drug’s distribution in pharmacies and online. Personal possession of Anavar is also considered a criminal act due to its non-medical use in the country.
