Swiss Healthcare Oxandrolone 100 tabs (10 mg/tab)

Oxandrolone – Anavar

Anavar is a popular, mild anabolic steroid embraced by athletes and bodybuilders alike for its effectiveness in weight gain.

This steroid is favored primarily due to its non-aromatizing nature; it does not convert to estrogen, leading to a lower risk of gynecomastia and significantly reduced water retention.

Launched nearly 50 years ago in North America, Anavar was originally prescribed for infertility disorders, anemias, and to assist patients recovering from serious illnesses. Today, however, its clinical applications remain limited. Its unique properties include non-aromatization and minimal impact on the hypothalamic-pituitary axis, which helps maintain testosterone levels without the adverse side effects commonly associated with other steroids.

Pharmacology

Oxandrin possesses both anabolic and androgenic properties, mimicking some of the functions of testosterone. At lower doses, its anabolic effects are selective, while higher doses may elicit significant androgenic responses, influencing the hypothalamus and modifying gonadotropin release, leading to reduced testosterone synthesis. Importantly, Oxandrolone does not convert to estrogen at lower doses, setting it apart from many other anabolic steroids.

Indications

<pwhile Oxandrin is sometimes prescribed for weight gain post-trauma, burns, or serious infections. In the past, it targeted conditions like anemias and osteoporosis. Following widespread misuse, its production ceased in 1989 but has since resumed under Savient Pharmaceuticals.

Dosage

For anemia or weight gain, the typical adult dosage ranges from 2.5-20 mg per day, divided into 2-4 doses. Some individuals may require higher doses (30-150 mg daily) depending on response, with therapy usually lasting 3-6 weeks. Oxandrin is available in tablet forms of 2.5 mg and 10 mg.

Minor side effects, like abdominal discomfort and nausea, may occur at low doses, while high doses can result in more severe issues, such as:

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

Most side effects are reversible upon discontinuation.

Contraindications

Oxandrolone is contraindicated in patients with:

• Suspected prostate cancer
• Breast cancer (male or female)
• Pregnancy
• Hypercalcemia
• Allergy to anabolic steroids

Bodybuilders

Bodybuilders frequently utilize Anavar due to its efficient absorption. Typical male dosages involve taking one tablet twice daily, whereas females usually require only one tablet a day. Many bodybuilders begin with lower doses, often combining Anavar with dianabol, winstrol, or anadriol for enhanced effects. Treatment typically spans 4-8 weeks with an initial goal of 5 mg daily, gradually increasing over 2-3 weeks.

Due to its minimal virilizing effects at low doses, Anavar is highly regarded among women. However, doses exceeding 5 mg daily and treatment durations beyond 6 weeks may lead to virilization, with gradual weight gain often observable after 3-4 weeks.

Common signs of virilization include:

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

If virilization occurs, women should cease use immediately, as some symptoms may not be reversible.

Warnings

All anabolic steroids carry liver damage risks. Complications can include liver dysfunction and potentially life-threatening liver cancer, underscoring the necessity for monitoring liver health through regular tests.

Overdose

Overdosing on Anavar is rare; even excessive intake typically does not pose a life threat, but medical attention is advisable if it occurs. Supportive care remains the primary treatment for such overdoses.

Costs

The cost for 100 tablets (2.5mg) of Anavar ranges from $100-$150. However, the presence of counterfeit products necessitates sourcing from reputable distributors. Authentic Anavar can cost between $700-1200 for 100 tablets.

Levels

Anavar and its metabolites can be detected in urine, remaining traceable for 7-14 days post-use according to major sports organizations’ screening protocols.

Legal

As a controlled substance, Oxandrolone sales and distribution are prohibited in the USA, with the DEA actively regulating its availability in pharmacies and online. Possession, being illegal, forms part of this prohibition.
