Oxandolone overview
Oxandrolone is one of the few steroids, which does not cause an early stunting of growth in children since it does not prematurely close the epiphysial growth plates. For this reason oxandrolone is mostly used in children to stimulate growth and in women to prevent osteoporosis. In obese individuals, oral oxandrolone has been shown to decrease subcutaneous abdominal fat more than testosterone enanthate or weight loss alone, and it also tended to produce favorable changes in visceral fat. Athletes like oxandrolone for three reasons. First, oxandrolone causes a strong strength gain by stimulating the phosphocreatine synthesis in the muscle cell without depositing water in the joints and the muscles.
Secondly, oxandrolone is one of the very few steroids that does not aromatize into estrogen, at any dosage, which has various advantages for the athlete.
The third reason for the popularity is that oxandrolone does not influence the body's own testosterone production. This special feature of Anavar can be explained by the fact that the oxandrolone is not converted into estrogen.
Oxandrolone causes very light virilization symptoms, if at all. This characteristic makes Anavar a favored remedy for female athletes since, at a daily dose of 10-15 mg., masculinizing symptoms are observed only rarely. Oxandrolone has often been used as a growth-promoting agent in the therapy of boys with growth delays in adolescence. Oxandrolone is also used in treating girls affected with Turner's syndrome, another growth-delay ailment. In obese individuals, oral oxandrolone has been shown to decrease subcutaneous abdominal fat more than Testosterone enanthate or weight loss alone, and it also tended to produce favorable changes in visceral fat.
Oxandrolone Directions
Anavar should be taken two to three times daily after meals thus assuring an optimal absorption of the oxandrolone. The rule of thumb to take 0.125 mg./pound of body weight daily has proven successful in clinical tests. Women should not take more than about half of that dosage, though. Anavar is normally taken two to three times daily after meals thus assuring an optimal absorption of the oxandrolone.Anavar can be combined with almost any other steroid such as Winstrol , Deca durabolin, Dianabol , or Anadrol .If you miss a dose, take it as soon as remembered if it is within an hour or so. If you do not remember until later, skip the missed dose and resume your usual dosing schedule. Do not "double-up" the dose to catch up.
Oxandrolone Precautions
Women should not take more than 15 mg. daily otherwise, androgenic-caused side effects such as acne, deep voice, clitorial hypertrophy or increased growth of body hair can occur.
Since oxandrolone is only slightly toxic and usually shows few side effects, several athletes use it over a prolonged period of time. However Anavar should not be taken for several consecutive months, since, as with almost all oral steroids it is 1 7-alpha alkylated and thus liver toxic.
Oxandrolone possible side effects
Oxandrolone can give gastrointestinal problems ranging from a sensation of stomach fullness to appetite suppression, nausea, and diarrhea. The symptoms can be reduced by taking the tablets one-two hours after the meals. Oxandrolone has negative effects on blood lipids.
In females, dosages above 15 mg./day can cause facial hair, deepening of the voice, clitoral hypertrophy, and acne.
If you notice other effects not listed above, contact your doctor.
Oxandrolone Overdose
If overdose of anavar is suspected, contact your local poison control center or emergency room immediately.
