Usage

General Description

1α-Methyl-5α-androstan-3α-ol-17-one, also known as Oxandrolone, is a synthetic anabolic steroid with strong similarities to dihydrotestosterone. It is commonly used to promote weight gain in patients with wasting conditions such as HIV/AIDS and in recovering patients after extensive surgery or severe trauma. Oxandrolone has been shown to increase lean body mass and muscle strength while decreasing body fat. It is also considered to have a low potential for androgenic and estrogenic side effects, making it a popular choice for athletes and bodybuilders. However, like all anabolic steroids, it carries potential risks and side effects, including liver toxicity, cardiovascular complications, and hormonal disruptions. Therefore, its use should be closely monitored and controlled by a healthcare professional.
