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

Oxandrolone – Anavar

Anavar is a low-strength anabolic steroid widely favored by athletes and bodybuilders for its potential to promote weight gain without the estrogenic side effects associated with many other steroids, such as gynecomastia and water retention.

Introduced nearly 50 years ago in the North American market, Anavar was initially employed to treat infertility, anemias, and wasting conditions in critically ill patients. Although its clinical use has diminished, it still presents two major benefits compared to other anabolic steroids: it remains non-estrogenic and exerts minimal impact on the hypothalamic/pituitary axis at low dosages.

Pharmacology

As both an anabolic and androgenic agent, Oxandrin mimics the actions of testosterone. At lower dosages, it showcases selective anabolic properties, while higher doses carry potent androgenic effects. However, excessive doses may disrupt hypothalamic functions, leading to reduced testosterone production and alterations in cholesterol levels.

Indications

Currently, Oxandrin is scarcely used in clinical settings but may still be prescribed to assist moribund patients in regaining weight post-trauma or infection. Its historical applications included treatments for anemias and osteoporosis.

Dosage

For weight gain and anemia treatment, the recommended adult dosage ranges from 2.5-20 mg/day, typically divided into 2-4 administrations. Doses can vary significantly, with some individuals requiring up to 150 mg/day, and therapy lasting between 3-6 weeks. Oxandrin is available in tablet forms, specifically 2.5 mg and 10 mg.

Common side effects at low doses include mild gastrointestinal discomfort, whereas high doses may lead to more severe reactions:

• Jaundice
• Rare hepatic necrosis
• Liver tumors
• General malaise
• Testicular atrophy
• Hair loss
• Breast enlargement
• Stomach cramps, nausea, bloating
• Acne and oily skin
• Diarrhea
• Menstrual irregularities

Many side effects are reversible upon discontinuation of the drug.

Contraindications

Oxandrolone should not be used in patients with:

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

Bodybuilders

Many bodybuilders prefer Anavar for its efficient absorption, typically taken with meals. For men, the usual dosage is two tablets daily, while women generally take one. Often combined with other compounds such as dianabol, winstrol, or anadriol, the treatment duration typically ranges from 4-8 weeks. Starting at a low dose of about 5 mg daily is advisable, gradually increasing over 2-3 weeks.

Favored by women for its minimal virilization risks, Anavar can cause masculinizing effects if doses exceed 5 mg/day or last beyond 6 weeks. Weight gain is typically slow, becoming noticeable after 3-4 weeks.

Signs of virilization include:

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

Women experiencing these symptoms should discontinue use immediately, as some effects may not be reversible.

Warnings

All anabolic steroids pose potential risks to liver health, including jaundice, liver abnormalities, and even liver cancer. Regular liver function checks are advisable for those using this drug.

Overdose

While overdose of Anavar is rare, excessive intake could lead to unpleasant side effects. Seeking emergency medical attention is highly recommended in such cases, with supportive care being the standard for treatment.

Costs

The price of Anavar (100 tablets of 2.5 mg) ranges between $100-$150. Due to high demand, counterfeit products are prevalent, underscoring the importance of purchasing from reputable sources. Genuine Anavar from pharmacies can cost anywhere from $700-$1200 for the same quantity.

Levels

Metabolites of Anavar are detectable in urine, with most major sports organizations conducting regular screenings, as traces can persist for 7-14 days post-use.

Legal

Anavar is classified as a controlled substance in the USA, with strict regulations on its sale and distribution by the DEA. Possessing Oxandrolone for non-clinical purposes is illegal.
