OK times up. LOL!!!
Oxandrolone is the perfect AS. Man or woman it doesn’t matter. There is no drug that will produce the results of Ox mg for mg with the track record this drug has for little or no sides. The cost is the only thing that keeps this drug from replacing all other AS as the drug of choice. Do I like it or what?
This is one of only a few of all the AS currently being used by BB’s that has been tracked for long term side effects, short term side effects and over dosage, and by researchers on 4 continents. The consensus is that there are very few cases of long term side effects and the number of patients with short term side effects, in studies that measure liver values and such is in single digits percentage wise.
It is the only AS approved by the FDA for treating children. It is used by physicians around the world to treat girls as young as 9 years old with turners syndrome. It is used to treat Jerry’s kids with MD. And of course it’s most common use today is to stave off wasting in AIDS patients, followed by burn victims and patients with spinal injuries.
That said, there are precautions as with any drug. If you read all the precautions of most drugs you would never take them, so lets look at what the manufacturer has to say.
General:
Women should be observed for signs of virilization (deepening of the voice, hirsutism, acne, clitoromegaly). Discontinuation of drug therapy at the time of evidence of mild virilism is necessary to prevent irreversible virilization. Some virilizing changes in women are irreversible even after prompt discontinuance of therapy and are not prevented by concomitant use of estrogens. Menstrual irregularities may also occur.
Anabolic steroids may cause suppression of clotting factors II, V, VII, and X, and an increase in prothrombin time.
Laboratory tests:
Women with disseminated breast carcinoma should have frequent determination of urine and serum calcium levels during the course of therapy.
Because of the hepatotoxicity associated with the use of 17-alpha-alkylated androgens, liver function tests should be obtained periodically.
Periodic (every 6 months) x-ray examinations of bone age should be made during treatment of children to determine the rate of bone maturation and the effects of androgen therapy on the epiphyseal centers.
Serum lipids and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol determinations should be done periodically as androgenic anabolic steroids have been reported to increase low-density lipoproteins. Serum cholesterol levels may increase during therapy. Therefore, caution is required when administering these agents to patients with a history of myocardial infarction or coronary artery disease. Serial determinations of serum cholesterol should be made and therapy adjusted accordingly.
Hemoglobin and hematocrit should be checked periodically for polycythemia in patients who are receiving high doses of anabolic steroids.
There is one more thing they write that I found interesting:
“Anabolic steroids have not been shown to enhance athletic performance.”
Well the lawyers sure have covered their butts with all that.. and that’s what they are paid for. One of the things I find interesting is that they never mention their product by name. They only talk about AAS and the precautions that have been laid out are the ones set forth by the FDA for the use of AAS. Not that we should ignore them but it is interesting.
The average cycle costs about $160 for a woman and two to three times that for a man. As you might imagine I highly recommend it.
