Genesis Oxandrolone Tablets 100 tabs (10 mg/tab)

Oxandrolone – Anavar

Anavar, known as a gentle anabolic steroid, is extensively utilized by athletes and bodybuilders primarily for weight gain support. Its popularity stems from the fact that it does not convert to estrogen, reducing the risk of gynecomastia and water retention commonly associated with other anabolic steroids.

Since its introduction in North America nearly 50 years ago, Anavar has transitioned from treating various infertility issues and anemia to limited clinical applications. Unlike many anabolic steroids, it is unique due to its lack of estrogen conversion, preventing breast enlargement in men and minimal influence on the hypothalamic-pituitary axis, thus avoiding testosterone suppression and related side effects such as loss of libido, impotence, and testicular atrophy.

Pharmacology

Oxandrolone, both an anabolic and androgenic steroid, displays actions comparable to testosterone. At lower doses, it maintains selective anabolic properties, while at higher doses, notable androgenic effects emerge. High doses can suppress gonadotropins and decrease testosterone synthesis. Additionally, like other anabolic steroids, Oxandrolone can elevate LDL (“bad”) cholesterol and lower HDL (“good”) cholesterol levels, maintaining its significant trait of not converting into estrogen at low doses.

Indications

Oxandrolone’s clinical use has diminished over the years, primarily being prescribed for individuals with anemias, weight loss in HIV patients, and previously for osteoporosis. Following abuse, Searle ceased production in 1989, but Savient Pharmaceutical now manufactures it under the trade name Oxandrin. It is now occasionally prescribed to moribund patients to assist with weight gain following trauma, burns, or severe infections, sometimes in combination with corticosteroids for treating bone pain in cancer patients.

Dosage

For anemia treatment or weight gain, the adult dosage typically ranges from 2.5 to 20 mg/day divided into 2-4 doses. Responses vary, with some patients effective at lower doses, while others may need 30 to 150 mg/day. Treatment typically lasts 3 to 6 weeks, with gradual increases if no response is observed in the first month. Oxandrin is available in tablet forms of 2.5 mg or 10 mg.

As with all anabolic steroids, Oxandrolone can result in side effects, typically minor at low doses, including mild abdominal discomfort, nausea, or diarrhea. However, potential side effects at higher doses may include:

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

The majority of side effects are usually reversible upon discontinuation of the drug.

Contraindications

Oxandrolone is contraindicated in several conditions, including:

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

Bodybuilders

Many bodybuilders favor Anavar due to its rapid absorption when taken with meals. Recommended dosages for men typically involve two tablets daily, while women usually take one tablet. Bodybuilders often start with a lower dose, combining Anavar with other substances due to its minimal side effects at low doses, frequently stacking it with dianabol, winstrol, or anadriol. Treatment duration typically spans from 4 to 8 weeks. Initial dosages may vary, but starting around 5 mg daily and increasing gradually over 2-3 weeks is common.

Women particularly appreciate Anavar for its minimal virilizing effects at low doses. However, exceeding a daily dose of 5 mg or extending treatment beyond six weeks may lead to noticeable signs of masculinization, including:

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

Women experiencing virilization symptoms should cease use immediately. While acne and excess hair growth may reverse, other signs may not.

Warnings

All anabolic steroids carry a risk of liver damage and jaundice. Numerous cases have reported liver dysfunction and growths. The most serious risk associated with anabolic steroid use is liver cancer, necessitating awareness among users. Routine monitoring of liver enzymes and annual ultrasounds may be prudent.

Overdose

Generally, anabolic steroids are safe with a low risk of overdose, and acute effects of Anavar are unlikely to be life-threatening even in excess. However, discomfort may persist long-term; thus, visiting an emergency room is recommended in such instances, where treatment is primarily supportive.

Costs

Anavar pricing for 100 tablets (2.5 mg) ranges from $100 to $150. Due to high demand, counterfeit products are prevalent, with many suppliers offering fake formulations. It’s vital to purchase from reputable sources; in contrast, authentic Anavar from pharmacies can cost between $700 and $1200 for 100 tablets.

Levels

Anavar and its metabolites are readily detectable in urine, and major sports organizations frequently screen for anabolic steroids. Some metabolites can remain detectable for 7 to 14 days following the final dose.

Legal

Anavar is a controlled substance in the USA, making its sale and distribution illegal. The DEA monitors its distribution in pharmacies and online. As it is not prescribed for clinical use in the USA, personal possession of Anavar is also considered a crime.
