Oxandrolone – Anavar

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

This steroid is particularly well-regarded among athletes due to its non-estrogenic nature, significantly reducing the risk of conditions like gynecomastia and minimizing water retention.

First introduced in the North American market nearly 50 years ago, Anavar was initially utilized for treating various infertility disorders and anemias. While its clinical use has diminished, it remains popular for its specific benefits. Unique among its peers, Anavar does not convert to estrogen and preserves testosterone levels, minimizing common side effects associated with other steroids such as loss of libido and testicular atrophy.

Pharmacology

Oxandrin exhibits both anabolic and androgenic properties, closely mirroring testosterone’s effects. At lower dosages, it offers selective anabolic benefits, while higher dosages enhance androgenic effects. Like all anabolic steroids, Anavar can negatively impact cholesterol levels, raising LDL while lowering HDL. However, it stands out as one of the few steroids that does not convert to estrogen at low doses.

Indications

Though rarely prescribed in modern medicine, Anavar has been historically used for treating anemias, weight loss in HIV patients, and osteoporosis. Following historical abuse, its production was halted in 1989 but resumed by Savient Pharmaceuticals under the name Oxandrin. Today, it’s occasionally prescribed for weight gain in severely ill patients after trauma or infections.

Dosage

The typical adult dosage for addressing anemia or promoting weight gain ranges from 2.5 to 20 mg per day, divided into 2-4 doses. Individual needs may vary, with some requiring up to 150 mg per day. Treatment duration usually spans 3-6 weeks, with gradual increases as needed. Anavar is generally available in 2.5 mg and 10 mg tablet forms.

Common minor side effects at lower doses may include abdominal discomfort or nausea, while higher doses can lead to more serious issues such as:

• jaundice
• hepatic necrosis
• liver cancer
• general malaise
• testicular atrophy
• hair loss
• breast enlargement
• stomach cramps and nausea
• acne and oily skin
• diarrhea
• menstrual irregularities

Most side effects tend to be reversible upon ceasing the medication.

Contraindications

Oxandrolone is contraindicated in individuals with:

• suspected prostate or breast cancer
• pregnancy
• evidence of hypercalcemia
• allergy to anabolic steroids

Bodybuilders

Anavar is a go-to choice among bodybuilders for its efficient absorption and minimal side effects when taken with meals. Men typically take two tablets daily, while women may only require one. Many bodybuilders start with lower doses, often in combination with other steroids like dianabol, winstrol, or anadriol, for cycles lasting 4-8 weeks. Initial dosing is typically around 5 mg per day, gradually increasing over several weeks.

Women appreciate Anavar for its minimal androgenic effects at low doses. However, exceeding 5 mg daily or using it continuously for over 6 weeks may lead to signs of virilization, such as:

• deep voice
• decreased libido
• clitoral enlargement
• acne
• excess hair growth

Women exhibiting signs of virilization should discontinue use promptly, as some effects may be irreversible.

Warnings

All anabolic steroids, including Anavar, pose a risk of liver damage and jaundice. Serious complications like liver cancer are a concern; thus, those using the drug should consider routine liver enzyme tests or annual ultrasounds.

Overdose

While overdose is rare and generally non-life-threatening, significant discomfort may occur. Medical attention is advised in any overdose scenario for supportive care.

Costs

Anavar costs between $100 and $150 for a 100-tablet supply (2.5 mg each). Due to high demand, counterfeit products are prevalent; always source from reputable suppliers. Legitimate Anavar from pharmacies can cost $700-$1200 for 100 tablets.

Levels

Anavar and its metabolites are detectable in urine, with sports organizations regularly screening for anabolic steroids. These metabolites may linger for 7-14 days post-use.

Legal

Anavar is classified as a controlled substance, making its sale and distribution illegal in the USA. The DEA actively monitors sales in pharmacies and online. Possession of Anavar, given its non-clinical use status, is also a crime.
