Euro-Pharmacies Oxandrolex 100 tabs (10 mg/tab)

Oxandrolone – Anavar

Anavar is a popular mild anabolic steroid favored by athletes and bodybuilders for its ability to promote weight gain. Its unique characteristic is that it does not convert into estrogen, substantially reducing the risk of gynecomastia and water retention.

Introduced nearly 50 years ago in North America, Anavar was initially used to address various infertility issues and conditions resulting in muscle wasting. Although clinical use has decreased, it remains a favored option among those seeking to enhance performance due to its lower risk of hormone-related side effects. Unlike many anabolic steroids, Anavar does not negatively impact the hypothalamic-pituitary axis, thus preserving testosterone levels and minimizing issues like libido loss or impotence.

Pharmacology

As an anabolic steroid with androgenic properties, Oxandrolone mimics the effects of testosterone. At lower doses, it primarily exhibits anabolic properties, while higher doses enhance its androgenic effects. Notably, Anavar is distinguished from others, as it does not convert to estrogen at lower doses, which is crucial for those looking to avoid estrogenic side effects.

Indications

Anavar has limited clinical applications, historically used for treating anemias, weight loss in HIV patients, and osteoporosis. Following abuse concerns, its production was halted until Savient Pharmaceuticals resumed it under the name Oxandrin. Some physicians now prescribe Oxandrin for patients recovering from trauma or serious infections, often in conjunction with corticosteroids for pain management.

Dosage

For anemia or weight gain, the recommended adult dosage ranges from 2.5 to 20 mg per day, divided into multiple doses. Some respond to lower doses, while others may require up to 150 mg daily. Treatment durations typically last 3-6 weeks, with gradual dose increases based on tolerance.

While low doses tend to have minimal side effects, higher doses can lead to more severe complications, including:

• jaundice
• hepatic necrosis
• liver cancers
• general malaise
• testicular atrophy
• hair loss
• breast enlargement
• gastrointestinal distress
• acne and oily skin
• menstrual irregularities

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

Contraindications

Oxandrolone is contraindicated in patients with:

• suspected prostate cancer
• breast cancer
• pregnancy
• evidence of hypercalcemia
• allergies to anabolic steroids

Bodybuilders

Bodybuilders often choose Anavar due to its favorable absorption when taken with meals. Typical dosages for men are two daily tablets, while women usually take one. Initial doses start low, with many athletes stacking Anavar with other compounds to minimize side effects. Treatment usually spans from 4-8 weeks, starting with a common recommendation of 5 mg per day and increasing gradually over 2-3 weeks.

Women appreciate Anavar for its minimal virilizing effects at lower doses, but exceeding 5 mg daily or extending treatment past 6 weeks may lead to virilization signs such as:

• deep voice
• decreased libido
• clitoral enlargement
• acne
• excessive hair growth

If virilization occurs, discontinuing Anavar immediately is crucial, though some signs may not be reversible.

Warnings

Anavar, like all anabolic steroids, poses potential liver damage risks and the possibility of jaundice. Serious complications include liver cancer, warranting routine monitoring of liver function for users.

Overdose

Although overdosing on anabolic steroids is uncommon, excessive use of Anavar can result in discomfort rather than life-threatening effects. Seeking medical attention after potential overdose is advisable, with treatment focused on supportive care.

Costs

The price for a 100-tablet supply (2.5 mg) of Anavar ranges from $100-$150. Due to high demand, counterfeit products are prevalent, making it crucial to source from reputable suppliers. Some bodybuilders may obtain products from Mexico, which come with uncertainty concerning quality. Properly obtained pharmaceutical Anavar may cost between $700 and $1200 for 100 tablets.

Levels

Both Anavar and its metabolites are readily detectable in urine. Various sports organizations routinely screen for anabolic steroids, and Anavar metabolites can persist in the body for 7-14 days after the last intake.

Legal

As a controlled substance, the sale and distribution of Anavar is prohibited in the USA. The DEA oversees its legality in pharmacies and online, and even personal possession is classified as a crime due to its non-clinical uses in the country.
