Name: oxandrolone
Unlike most oral
steroids, which are
Class
II
steroids
giving most of their anabolic effect by
means other than the androgen receptor (AR), it seems that
oxandrolone
probably
does have good binding to
the
AR,
and is
therefore a Class I
steroid, while having little other effect.
By itself it is considered to be a
weak
anabolic.
Partly
this
is due
to its
apparent lack of non-AR-mediated activity.
This
can be corrected
of course by stacking with a Class II steroid
such as dianabol, anadrol, 4-AD, or nor-4-AD: the latter two
steroids require
high blood
levels
which
are
not
obtained
by
oral use
of the powders.
The other part of
the reason for this is that bodybuilders make
unfortunate and unreasonable comparisons when
judging
anabolic steroids.
If say 8 tablets per day does
little,
then the drug is
pronounced useless or
weak by the user. But
that is only 20 mg/day, or 140 mg/week. Does 140
mg/week testosterone
give
much results?
No. Few
anabolic steroids
give dramatic results at that dose. Per
milligram the potency is reasonable, but each individual
tablet is weak because the dosage
is small.
Because of its
high price, very few bodybuilders
have
taken large doses of
oxandrolone. There is a single case
in the medical literature (Forbes et al.) where it is reported that a
competitive
athlete
self-administered 150
mg oxandrolone per day with
remarkable
gains. This is
of uncertain credibility
because
unless urinalysis was done to verify that no other steroids
were taken, there
is
no
way
to be certain that the athlete did not actually
take more drugs than he reported. In any
case, at current
prices, only
the quite
wealthy could afford
such a dose.
I personally
have tried 150
mg/day and considered it somewhat effective,
but not dramatically so, and not
a preferred regimen.
Oxandrolone does not
aromatize or convert to
DHT,
and has a longer half life than Dianabol
- 8
hours vs. 4
hours.
Thus,
a moderate dose
taken in the morning is largely
out of the system by
night, yet supplies reasonable levels of
androgen
during
the day and early evening.
Oxandrolone
shares
the
liver toxicity problems common to 17-alkylated steroids. At one time it
was
thought
that it did not, but both clinical and practical
experience
with Oxandrin has shown
that at
doses
of 40 mg/day
and
higher, liver toxicity is indeed an issue
with prolonged
use.
Primobolan, I believe, should be considered a superior compound, offering the
same activity
at
(usually)
a
lower price
and without the
alkylated-toxicity issue.
Effective
Dose: 1 - 3 tabs per day

Anavar (Oxandrolone)
Anavar,
oxandrolone, tablets.
Each Anavar tablet contains
2.5
mg. oxandrolone.
Anavar, brand name
Bonavar,
comes in packs of 50 tablets and is manufactured by Body Research Ltd., Thailand.
Common uses
and directions
for Anavar, oxandrolone
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.
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 of Anavar is
that oxandrolone
does not influence
the
body's own testosterone production.
A suitable dosage of Anavar for
a male athlete
is 0.125 mg./pound of body
weight per day. 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.
Oxandrolone
can
give
gastrointestinal
problems
ranging from a sensation of
stomach
fullness to
appetite suppression, nausea, and diarrhea.

Common
uses
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 of
Anavar 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.
Directions
Anavar,
brand
name Bonavar, as a
tablet, containing
2.5 mg.
oxandrolone,
to take by
mouth.
Anavar should be taken two to
three
times daily
after meals thus assuring an
optimal absorption of the
oxandrolone.
Common
dosage is
8-12 tablets in
men
and 5-6
tablets in women.
The rule of thumb to take 0.125
mg./pound of body weight daily has proven successful in clinical tests.
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.
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.
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.
Overdose
If overdose
of anavar is suspected, contact
your local poison control center or emergency room immediately.
Additional information
Keep
oxandrolone
in
a
tightly
closed container
and
out of reach of children. Store oxandrolone at room
temperature and away
from excess heat and moisture (not in the bathroom).
