Description
Oxandrolone is an oral anabolic steroid derived from dihydrotestosterone. It was designed to have a very strong separation of anabolic and androgenic action and no significant estrogenic or progestational activity. Oxandrolone is quite mild in action compared to other oral steroids. It has been designed to increase strength and quality muscle tissue gains without significant side effects. Milligram by milligram, it exhibits six times more anabolic activity than testosterone, with significantly less androgenicity. This drug is well-liked by dieting bodybuilders and athletes competing in speed/anaerobic sports, where its propensity for pure tissue gain (without fat and water retention) is well suited to the purpose. Oxandrolone has a modification at the second carbon atom that results in the second carbon being replaced by an oxygen atom, hence the ox prefix in the name Oxandrolone. It is this replacement of the carbon atom with an oxygen atom that is believed to greatly enhance the anabolic capabilities of oxandrolone compared to its parent hormone dihydrotestosterone.

Side effects
Because dihydrotestosterone is unable to interact with the aromatase enzyme and therefore cannot undergo aromatisation (conversion) to estrogen, Oxandrolone shares this important feature. Its inability to aromatise into estrogen means that the possibility of any estrogenic and estrogen-related side effects is completely eliminated. Oxandrolone is alkylated at the 17th carbon atom in its steroid structure (called methylation or C17-alpha alkylation) to get past metabolism in the liver and into the bloodstream to do its job. Unfortunately, C17-alpha alkylation of oral anabolic steroids is known to exhibit varying degrees of liver toxicity, but oxandrolone has demonstrated much less liver toxicity than most other C17-alpha alkylated oral anabolic steroids. However, it is important to realise that oxandrolone is not without potential liver toxicity and caution should be exercised when using it in this regard.
