Vermodje Oxaver 100 tabs (10 mg/tab)

Oxandrolone – Anavar

Anavar is a mild yet effective anabolic steroid revered by athletes and bodybuilders for its ability to promote weight gain. Its appeal largely stems from its unique attribute of not converting to estrogen, which significantly reduces the risk of gynecomastia and minimizes water retention.

Introduced to the North American market nearly five decades ago, Oxandrolone was initially utilized for treating infertility disorders and anemia, especially in hospitalized patients experiencing muscle wasting. Despite its declining clinical use today, Anavar stands out due to its lack of estrogen conversion and minimal impact on the hypothalamic-pituitary axis at low doses, eliminating common steroid-related side effects such as libido loss and impotence.

Pharmacology

Oxandrin possesses both anabolic and androgenic properties, mimicking testosterone’s effects. While low doses yield selective anabolic benefits, higher doses can trigger significant androgenic activity, potentially suppressing gonadotropin release and testosterone synthesis. Like other anabolic steroids, Oxandrin can elevate LDL cholesterol while lowering HDL cholesterol levels.

Indications

Once used widely in clinical settings to address conditions like anemia and weight loss in HIV patients, current medical use of Oxandrolone is limited. After Searle ceased production in 1989 due to abuse concerns, Oxandrin is now manufactured by Savient Pharmaceutical. Some physicians may prescribe it for weight gain in patients recovering from trauma, burns, or severe infections, occasionally combined with corticosteroids for bone pain relief in cancer patients.

Dosage

For addressing anemia or assisting weight gain, adult doses range from 2.5 to 20 mg daily, split into 2-4 doses. While some individuals respond well to lower doses, others may require up to 150 mg per day. Treatment typically lasts 3-6 weeks, with gradual dosage increases to monitor efficacy. Oxandrin is available in 2.5 mg and 10 mg tablets.

Like all anabolic steroids, Oxandrolone may cause side effects. At lower doses, effects tend to be mild, possibly including abdominal discomfort, nausea, or diarrhea. However, higher doses can lead to serious side effects including:

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

Most side effects subside once the drug is discontinued.

Contraindications

Oxandrolone should be avoided in patients with:

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

Bodybuilders

Bodybuilders frequently utilize Anavar due to its high absorption when taken with meals. Typical dosing involves one tablet twice a day for men and one tablet daily for women, with many athletes starting at lower doses. Anavar is often stacked with other steroids like dianabol or winstrol, with treatment lasting 4-8 weeks. Most experts suggest initiating at 5 mg per day, gradually increasing over 2-3 weeks.

The drug appeals to women due to minimal virilization at low doses. However, doses exceeding 5 mg daily for over 6 weeks may lead to signs of masculinization. Bodybuilders typically observe gradual weight gain following 3-4 weeks of use.

Signs of virilization may include:

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

Women experiencing these symptoms should cease use immediately, although some effects may not be reversible.

Warnings

All anabolic steroids carry risks, including liver damage and jaundice, with potential for serious conditions such as liver cancer. Regular monitoring of liver enzymes and periodic ultrasounds are advisable for individuals taking Anavar.

Overdose

While Anavar is generally safe, overdose is possible but rarely life-threatening. Symptoms may be unpleasant, necessitating an ER visit for treatment.

Costs

The price for 100 tablets of Anavar (2.5 mg) varies between $100-$150, but counterfeit concerns are prevalent. Reliable suppliers are essential, as obtaining Anavar from Mexico may compromise quality. Conversely, authentic Anavar from pharmacies costs $700-$1,200 for 100 tablets.

Levels

Anavar and its metabolites are detectable in urine, leading many sports organizations to implement routine testing. Metabolites can linger in the body for 7-14 days post-use.

Legal

As a controlled substance, Anavar’s distribution is illegal in the USA. The DEA actively monitors its sale in pharmacies and online. Personal possession of Anavar is also prosecutable.
