Vermodje Oxaver 100 tabs (10 mg/tab)

Oxandrolone – Anavar

Anavar is a popular anabolic steroid favored by athletes and bodybuilders for its ability to promote weight gain effectively.

This steroid’s appeal lies in its unique characteristic of not converting into estrogen, significantly reducing the risk of gynecomastia and water retention, which is often a concern with other steroids.

First introduced in North America nearly 50 years ago, Anavar was initially prescribed for various medical conditions, including infertility and anemia. Presently, its clinical use is limited. Unlike many other anabolic steroids, Anavar does not convert to estrogen and has minimal impact on the hypothalamic-pituitary axis at lower doses. Consequently, users typically experience fewer side effects, avoiding issues like loss of libido and testicular atrophy.

Pharmacology

Oxandrin possesses both anabolic and androgenic properties, mirroring the effects of testosterone. Low doses yield selective anabolic effects, while higher doses may introduce significant androgenic activity. Additionally, high doses can suppress gonadotropin release, resulting in decreased testosterone synthesis. However, Anavar remains distinctive among anabolic steroids as it does not convert to estrogen at low doses.

Indications

Currently, Anavar has limited use in clinical settings. Historically, it treated conditions like anemia and weight loss in HIV patients but was discontinued by Searle in 1989 due to widespread abuse. Now produced by Savient Pharmaceutical, it is prescribed in some cases for moribund patients recovering from trauma or serious infections, occasionally in conjunction with corticosteroids to alleviate cancer-related bone pain.

Dosage

The typical dosage for treating anemia or promoting weight gain is 2.5-20 mg/day, divided into 2-4 doses, with some patients requiring up to 30-150 mg/day based on individual response. Treatment duration typically ranges from 3-6 weeks, with doses increased gradually if no initial response is observed. Oxandrin tablets are available in 2.5 mg and 10 mg formulations.

Common side effects associated with Oxandrin include minor abdominal discomfort, nausea, or diarrhea at lower doses. However, higher doses may result in more severe reactions, 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

Fortunately, most side effects are reversible once the medication is discontinued.

Contraindications

Oxandrolone is contraindicated in patients with certain medical conditions, including:

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

Bodybuilders

Bodybuilders often choose Anavar for its excellent absorption properties. It is recommended to take the drug with food, with men typically dosing at two tablets daily and women at one tablet daily. Many bodybuilders start at a low dosage, frequently combining Anavar with other steroids like dianabol, winstrol, or anadriol to maximize benefits while minimizing side effects. Treatment usually lasts between 4-8 weeks, with initial dosages starting at around 5 mg and progressively increasing over two to three weeks.

Anavar is particularly popular among women due to its minimal virilizing effects at low doses. However, exceeding 5 mg daily or using it for more than six weeks may lead to virilization symptoms. Weight gain from Anavar tends to be slow and noticeable after 3-4 weeks.

Signs of virilization include:

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

Women experiencing virilization symptoms should stop taking the drug immediately, as some effects may not be reversible.

Warnings

All anabolic steroids, including Anavar, pose risks to liver health, with jaundice and liver dysfunction being serious concerns. Liver cancer is a potential complication, making routine liver enzyme tests and annual ultrasounds advisable for anyone using this steroid.

Overdose

Overdosing on Anavar is generally uncommon due to its safety profile; however, extreme consumption may lead to discomfort rather than life-threatening consequences. In such cases, a visit to the emergency room is advisable for appropriate care, as treatment primarily remains supportive.

Costs

Currently, Anavar’s price ranges from $100-$150 for 100 tablets (2.5 mg), reflecting significant demand and counterfeit risks. Buyers must exercise caution to obtain legitimate products, as many sources, especially international suppliers, cannot guarantee quality. Authentic Anavar from pharmacies may cost between $700-$1200 for the same quantity.

Levels

Anavar and its metabolites can be detected in urine, with enduring presence of 7-14 days post-use. Major sports organizations regularly test for anabolic steroids in competitive athletes.

Legal

Anavar is classified as a controlled substance in the USA, with strict regulations on its sale and distribution. Both pharmacies and online vendors are monitored by the DEA; personal possession is considered illegal, given its non-clinical application in the United States.
