Euro-Pharmacies Oxandrolone 50 tabs (10 mg/tab) EXPIRATION

Oxandrolone – Anavar

Anavar, renowned for its mild anabolic properties, is a popular choice among athletes and bodybuilders seeking to gain weight effectively. This Anavar stands out because it does not convert to estrogen, minimizing the risk of gynecomastia and potentially reducing water retention compared to other steroids. First introduced to the North American market nearly 50 years ago, Anavar initially treated various infertility disorders, anemias, and patients suffering from wasting syndromes. Although less common in clinical settings today, it remains favored for its unique advantages: it does not convert to estrogen and has minimal impact on the hypothalamic pituitary tract at low doses. This means men are less likely to face side effects such as breast enlargement, libido loss, impotence, or testicular atrophy commonly associated with other steroids.

Pharmacology

Oxandrin, the pharmaceutical name for Oxandrolone, mirrors testosterone’s actions, exhibiting selective anabolic effects at lower doses while also showcasing potent androgenic properties at higher doses. Higher doses can suppress Gonadotropin release, potentially leading to lowered testosterone synthesis, while also impacting cholesterol levels by increasing “bad” LDL and reducing “good” HDL cholesterol. Notably, Anavar distinguishes itself as one of the few anabolic steroids that avoid estrogen conversion at lower dosages.

Indications

Historically, the drug has seen diminished clinical use, as it once treated anemias, weight loss in HIV patients, and osteoporosis, but abuse prompted Searle to cease production in 1989. Currently manufactured by Savient Pharmaceutical under the trade name Oxandrin, physicians now prescribe it in cases of severe weight loss due to trauma, burns, or infections, sometimes in combination with corticosteroids for bone pain related to cancer.

Dosage

When administered for anemia or weight gain, the typical adult dosage ranges from 2.5 to 20 mg per day, divided into 2-4 doses. Some may respond to lower doses, while others might require 30-150 mg daily. Treatment typically lasts 3-6 weeks with dosages adjusted every four weeks based on response. Oxandrin tablets are available in 2.5 mg and 10 mg doses. While low doses generally result in minor side effects—such as mild abdominal discomfort, nausea, or diarrhea—higher doses carry risks 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 is contraindicated in specific conditions, including:

• Suspected prostate cancer
• Breast cancer in male or female
• Pregnancy
• Evidence of hypercalcemia
• Allergy to anabolic steroids

Bodybuilders

Bodybuilders commonly utilize Anavar due to its favorable absorption when ingested with meals. The standard regimen involves men taking two tablets daily while women are advised to take one. Many begin with lower doses, often stacking Anavar with other steroids like dianabol, winstrol, or anadriol for synergistic effects, with treatment durations typically between 4-8 weeks. Starting doses may be 5 mg daily, increasing gradually over 2-3 weeks. Anavar is particularly popular among women for its minimal virilization risk at low doses. However, exceeding 5 mg daily for over 6 weeks can trigger masculinizing effects. Weight gain is progressive and typically noticeable after 3-4 weeks. Signs of virilization include:

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

Women exhibiting virilizing signs should cease use, as some effects may not reverse.

Warnings

As with all anabolic steroids, liver damage and jaundice are concerns. Cases of liver dysfunction and tumors have been reported, with liver cancer posing a serious risk. Regular monitoring of liver enzymes and annual ultrasounds may be prudent for users.

Overdose

Overdosing on anabolic steroids is rare and generally non-life-threatening, though adverse effects can persist. Seeking emergency medical care is advised if overdose symptoms occur, with treatment revolving around supportive care.

Costs

The price for 100 tablets (2.5 mg) ranges from $100-$150, but counterfeit products often flood the market. Buyers should only purchase from reputable sources, as underground supplies, especially those from Mexico, cannot guarantee quality. Legitimate Anavar from pharmacies can cost between $700-$1200 for 100 tablets.

Levels

Detection of Anavar and its metabolites is straightforward via urine testing, with major sports organizations routinely screening for anabolic steroids; metabolites can linger for 7-14 days post-use.

Legal

As a controlled substance, Anavar’s sale and distribution are banned in the USA. The DEA closely monitors its availability in pharmacies and online. Possessing Anavar is a crime given its status as a non-clinical drug in the USA.
