Use and dosage of Oxandrolone
- A course of Oxandrolone (Anavar) "solo" is carried out to increase the relief of the muscles. The total duration of the course is 6-8 weeks,
- Start taking oxandrolone at a dose of 20 mg per day, divided into two doses – in the morning and at the beginning of the second half of the day,
- After a week, increase the dosage to 40, a maximum of 80 mg per day, divided into 3 doses,
- Continue the course in the absence of side effects for 5-6 weeks,
- 2 days after the end of the course, start taking Tamoxifen at a dose of 10 mg per day to restore the production of own testosterone for 1-2 weeks,
- A course of oxandrolone requires a preliminary consultation with a doctor to identify contraindications (prostate hypertrophy, liver disease, etc.),
- For maximum effectiveness of the course, take sports nutrition for relief.
Oxandrolone is suitable for women
Due to the mild androgenic rating of Oxandrolone (Anavar), it usually does not cause virilization side effects in women (when taken in low to moderate doses). Thus, Anavar is known as a steroid for women.
Side effects of virilization include:
- deepening of the voice,
- hair growth (on the body),
- clitoral enlargement
- more pronounced jaw,
- smaller breasts
- irregular menstrual cycles.
Therefore, since Anavar usually does not cause the above side effects, it keeps femininity intact, it is very popular among women who want to build muscle mass and burn fat.
Note: Masculinization is still possible if doses higher than 10 mg per day are taken.
Side effects
Oxandrolone was named by researchers as effective and safe even with long-term use. Thus, when used in clinical conditions in low and medium doses, the drug usually does not cause dangerous side effects.
However, if Oxandrolone is abused in recreational settings where higher doses are administered, the risk of side effects increases. In this case, the following can happen:
- high level of LDL cholesterol,
- suppressed testosterone,
- kidney damage
- hair loss

The origin of the drug
Anavar (oxandrolone) is an oral anabolic steroid created in 1962 to increase lean muscle mass in those suffering from muscle wasting. Another main goal in the development of Anavar was to create a mild drug with few side effects so that it could be safely taken by women and children.
In 1964, the American pharmaceutical company GD Searle & Co brought Anavar to the market.
