Anavar (Oxandrolone) was the old U.S. brand name for the oral steroid
oxandrolone, first produced in 1964 by the drug manufacturer
Searle. Anavar (Oxandrolone) was designed as an extremely mild anabolic, one that
could even be safely used as a growth stimulant in children. One
immediately thinks of the standard worry, "steroids will stunt
growth". But Anavar (Oxandrolone) is actually the excess estrogen produced by most
steroids that is the culprit, just as it is the reason why women
stop growing sooner and have a shorter average stature than men.
Oxandrolone will not aromatize, and therefore the anabolic
effect of Anavar can actually promote linear growth. Women
usually tolerate Anavar (Oxandrolone) well at low doses, and at one time it
was prescribed for the treatment of osteoporosis. But the
atmosphere surrounding steroids began to change rapidly in the
1980's, and prescriptions for Anavar (Oxandrolone) began to drop. Lagging
sales probably led Searle to discontinue manufacture in 1989,
and it had vanished from U.S. pharmacies until recently.
Anavar (Oxandrolone) tablets are again available inside the U.S. by BTG,
bearing the new brand name Oxandrin. BTG purchased rights to the
drug from Searle and it is now manufactured for the new purpose
of treating HIV/AIDS related wasting syndrome. Many welcomed
this announcement, as Anavar (Oxandrolone) had gained a very favorable
reputation among athletes over the years.
Anavar
(Oxandrolone) is a
mild anabolic with low androgenic activity.
Anavar (Oxandrolone) reduced
androgenic activity has much to due 4vith the fact that it is a
derivative of dihydrotestosterone. Although you might think at
first glance this would make Oxandrolone a more androgenic steroid, it in
fact creates a steroid that is less androgenic because Oxandrolone is
already "5-alpha reduced". In other words,
Oxandrolone lacks the capacity
to interact with the 5-alpha reductase enzyme and convert to a
more potent "dihydro° form. It is a simply matter of where a
steroid is capable of being potentiated in the body, and with
Anavar (Oxandrolone) we do not have the same potential as testosterone,
which is several times more active in androgen responsive
tissues compared to muscle tissue due to its conversion to DHT.
It essence Anavar (Oxandrolone) has a balanced level of potency in both
muscle and androgenic target tissues such as the scalp, skin and
prostate. This is a similar situation as is noted with
Primobolan and Winstrol, which are also derived from
dihydrotestosterone yet not known to be very androgenic
substances.
Anavar (Oxandrolone) is
known as a good agent for the promotion of strength and duality
muscle mass gains, although the mild nature of Anavar
makes it less than ideal for bulking purposes. Among
bodybuilders Anavar (Oxandrolone) is most commonly used during cutting phases of
training when water retention is a concern. The standard dosage
of Anavar (Oxandrolone)
for men is in the range of 15-25mg (6-10 tablets) per day, a
level that should produce noticeable results.
Anavar (Oxandrolone) can be further
combined with anabolics like Primobolan
® and Winstrol ® to elicit
a harder. More defined look without added water retention. Such
combinations are very popular and can dramatically enhance the
show physique. One can also add strong non-aromatizing androgens
like Halotestin ®, Proviron
® or trenbolone. In this case the
androgen really helps to harden up the muscles, while at the
same time making conditions more favorable for fat reduction.
Some athletes do choose to incorporate Anavar
(Oxandrolone) into bulking
stacks. But usually with standard bulking drugs like
testosterone or Dianabol. The usual goal in this instance is an
additional gain of strength, as well as more quality look to the
androgen bulk. Women who fear the masculinizing effects of many
steroids would be quite comfortable using
Anavar (Oxandrolone), as this is
very rarely seen with low doses. Here a daily dosage of 5
mg
should illicit considerable growth without the noticeable
androgenic side effects of other drugs. Eager females may wish
to addition mild anabolics like Winstrol
®, Primobolan ® or
Decadurabolin ®. When combined with such anabolics, the user should
notice faster, more pronounced muscle-building effects, but may
also increase the likelihood of androgenic buildup.
Studies using
low dosages of Anavar (Oxandrolone) note minimal interferences with
natural testosterone production. Likewise when it is used alone
in small amounts there is typically no need for ancillary drugs
like Clomid ®,Nolvadex
® or HCG. This has a lot to do with the
fact that Anavar (Oxandrolone) does not convert to estrogen, which we know has an
extremely profound effect on endogenous hormone production.
Without estrogen to trigger negative feedback, we seem to note a
higher threshold before inhibition is noted. But at higher
dosages of course, a suppression of natural testosterone levels
will still occur with Anavar (Oxandrolone) as with any anabolic/androgenic
steroid.
This makes
clear that while estrogen is important in this regard, androgen
action triggers feedback inhibition as well. In the context of
the average bodybuilder using Anavar (Oxandrolone) at a level to promote
growth, we would probably expect that maintaining a normal level
of endogenous testosterone release would likewise be very
difficult.
Anavar
(Oxandrolone) is also
a 17alpha alkylated oral steroid, carrying an alteration that is
noted for putting stress on the liver. It is importarnt to point
out however that to spite this alteration
Anavar (Oxandrolone) is
generally very well tolerated, While liver enzyme tests will
occasionally show elevated values, actual damage due to Anavar is not a statistical problem. Bio-Technology General
states that Anavar (Oxandrolone) is not as extensively metabolized by the
liver as other 17aa orals are; evidenced by the fact that nearly
a third of the compound is still intact when excreted in the
urine. This may have to do with the understood milder nature of
Oxandrolone (compared to other l7aa orals) in terms of
hepatotoxicity. One study comparing the effects of
Anavar (Oxandrolone)
to other agents including as methyltestosterone, norethandrolone,
fluoxymesterone and meth Andriol clearly supports this notion45.
Here it was demonstrated that Anavar (Oxandrolone) causes the lowest
sulfobromophthalein (BSP; a marker of liver stress) retention
among al! the alkylated orals tested. 20mg of
Anavar (Oxandrolone) in
fact produced 72% less BSP retention than an equal dosage of
fluoxyrnesterone, which is a considerable difference being that
they possess the same liver-toxic alteration. With such
findings, combined with the fact that athletes rarely report
trouble with Anavar (Oxandrolone), most feel comfortable believing it to be
much safer to use during loner cycles than most of other orals
with this distinction. Although this may very well be true, the
chance of liver damage still cannot be excluded however.
At one time
Anavar (Oxandrolone) was also looked at as a possible drug for those
suffering from disorders of high cholesterol or trigfycerides.
Early studies showed it to be capable of lowering total
cholesterol and triglyceride values in certain types of
hyperlipidemic patients, which initially this was thought to
signify potential for Anavar (Oxandrolone) as a hypo-lipid (lipid lowering)
agent'°. With further investigation we find however that while
use of Anavar (Oxandrolone) can be linked to a lowering of total
cholesterol values, it is such that a redistribution in the
ratio of good (HDL) to bad (LDL) cholesterol occurs, usually
moving values in an unfavorable direction4' 48. This would of
course negate any positive effect that Anavar might have on
triglycerides or total cholesterol, and in fact make it a danger
in terms of cardiac risk when taken for prolonged periods of
time. Today we understand that as a group anabolic
/androgenic
steroids produce very unfavorable changes in lipid profiles, and
are really not useful in disorders of lipid metabolism. As an
oral c17 alpha alkylated steroid, Anavar (Oxandrolone) is probably even
more risky to use than an injectable esterified injectable such
as a testosterone or nandrolone in this regard.
On the black
market, Anavar (Oxandrolone) has always been a hot item. Although it is
again being manufactured in the U.S., don't count on seeing it
much. The exorbitant price BTG is asking for Oxandrin precludes
it from entering the black market in any volume. At the
pharmacy, Anavar tablets can cost over $4 each, a tremendous jump
from the price Searle was selling It for a decade earlier.
Before last year, this left the SPA version from Italy as the
only version athletes did see regularly on the black market.
They come 30 tabs to a box, in 2 foil and plastic strips of 15
each. Anavar tablets by SPA usually sell for $1-2 each, which is much more
reasonable than the U.S. item. This is a trusted item, but may
still not be the most cost effective at this time. To cash in on
the obvious high demand and low supply for Anavar, a 2.5mg
version was introduced a little closer to home, Mexico, by the
firm Ttokkyo. These guys are working hard to introduce products
that bodybuilders, I mean house pets, are going to have a high
demand for. The 2.5mg product seemed to do very weil, although
more recently they have doubled to dosage on this item to 5mg
per tablet. Both versions of the Ttokkyo product are still
circulating at this time, come in plastic bottles of 100 tablets
each, and offer the most steroid per dollar for a commercial
product. Additionally, many athletes have found mail-order
sources that carry generic oxandrolone preparations, often in
5mg and 10mg capsules, which may offer even better pricing. Thus
far I have seen such drugs produced in Spain, France and Brazil.
It is obviously difficult to determine if these are legitimate
when purchasing, so there is risk involved. |
