Description
Oxandrolone (a drug known to many under the brand name ANAVAR), as well as: Vasorome, Oksandrin and Anatrofill. In bodybuilding, this remedy received a slang name from a female name – Oksana. This drug is an anabolic steroid that originally appeared in 1964 under the brand name Anavar. The drug has gained wide popularity due to the fact that it has an increased level of anabolic activity (approximately 400 percent of testosterone), and at the same time, an extremely low level of androgenic activity (approximately 20 percent of testosterone).
Initially, Oxandrolone was to be used in the treatment of the following diseases:
- HIV infection,
- Turner Syndrome,
- Anemia,
- And also to strengthen bones and after burn recovery.
However, after only a couple of years, Anavar began to be used by athletes in bodybuilding and just lovers of a healthy lifestyle. It should be noted that Oksana managed to become an excellent alternative to methane (dianabol). The latter, in those days, was the most common anabolic steroid.
Athletes involved not only in bodybuilding, but also in other sports, very quickly appreciated all the benefits of this AU and switched to using Oxandrolone on an ongoing basis. We also note the moment that it was at that time that Anavar was included in the list of controlled drugs.

Effects of taking Oxandrolone
- The main effect of the drug is the possibility of increasing the hardness and relief of muscles,
- fat burning,
- strength increase,
- Increasing the level of growth hormone.
Note that the use of the Anavar SOLO course is inappropriate during the recruitment of muscle mass. This tool is recommended for those athletes who have a decent muscle mass and whose goal is to burn subcutaneous fat, get muscle hardness and gain relief.
Possible side effects of the steroid
Liver toxicity is negligible (moderate) even though this agent is an alpha-17-alkylated steroid. Based on the results of the study, daily intake of Anavar at a dosage of 20 mg, for 12 weeks, did not in any way affect the level of liver enzymes (the latter acts as an indicator of liver destruction).
Oxandrolone is not converted into estrogens, in other words, such possible side effects as: deposits of the female type, water retention, gynecomastia, acne (acne), etc. missing.
The steroid slightly affects the level of production of its own testosterone (one might even say that it does not have any significant effect), but this is the case if not abused. That is, in moderate doses, the drug does not cause oppression of such an axis as the hypothalamus-pituitary-testicles.
However, when Anavar dosages are elevated, the human body begins to respond with a decrease in gonadotropin production, believing that endogenous testosterone levels are too high. In addition, the lack of stimulation of Leydig cells, in turn, leads to testicular atrophy.
Suppression of the production of one's own testosterone is expressed by a sluggish erection and a decrease in LIBIDO. However, this can be countered by adding GONADOTROPIN to the course or simply by creating a combined course containing androgenic drugs.
It is extremely rare, but still, from time to time, there are such possible side effects from the use of Anavar, such as:
- Nausea,
- decreased appetite,
- Headaches,
- Stomach ache,
- Increase in blood pressure.
By and large, side effects are extremely rare, which is why the drug is one of the safest anabolic steroids on the market.
Oxandrolone: SOLO course
The course is ideal for those athletes who want to increase muscle hardness and relief.
It is necessary to consult with doctors in order to identify possible contraindications (for example, prostate hypertrophy, liver disease, and others).
The duration of the course is from 6 to 8 weeks.
Dosages should start at 20 mg per day. They should be divided into 2 doses (morning and afternoon). After a week, the dosage should be increased to 40 mg per day (the maximum dosage is not more than 80 mg). It is necessary to divide into 3 doses (morning, lunch and evening).
2 days after the completion of the course, it is necessary to switch to taking Tamoxifen in dosages of no more than 10 mg per day (to restore your own testosterone production) and so on for 1-2 weeks (10 mg per day).
Reviews about the drug Oxandrolone
This drug among training athletes is considered quite mild. When taken no more than 40 mg per day, this drug has virtually no side effects. This is due to the fact that this substance was originally developed for children and women. It belongs to the class of steroid drugs that do not interfere with physical development in adolescents. And due to the fact that it does not close the connection of the pituitary gland, it is used to accelerate the growth of the body in adolescents. For women, this drug is used in case of manifestation of a disease such as osteoporosis. As the athletes themselves write, this drug practically does not cause the so-called masculinization effect. Therefore, it is used in their training by female athletes. There are almost no outward manifestations of masculinity.
Oxandrolone helps to build muscle mass and increases the strength characteristics of athletes. Excess fluid in the body does not accumulate, unlike many other steroid preparations. It is used by many security officials who want to increase strength, but not gain weight at the same time. Although this drug does not significantly increase muscle mass, it interacts quite well with other steroid drugs. According to athletes, this drug does not cause the effect of aromatization in any dose. Also, when using it, there are practically no loose and watery muscles. If you combine it with a diet, then the muscles will be hard, dry.True, it can cause some feeling of heaviness in the stomach if taken with food.
Even in high doses, it does not affect the production of testosterone. It also does not suppress the production of hormones in the body. Since this drug is slightly toxic, it can be used for quite a long time without harm to the body. But the period of admission should not exceed several months, so as not to cause a load on the athlete's liver.
