Description
Oxandrolone is a mild steroid with weak androgenic activity. Its action is mainly aimed at increasing the strength and endurance of the athlete. The ability of this steroid to dramatically improve the process of creatine phosphate synthesis in muscle fibres makes it possible to achieve significant strength gains without excessive increase in body weight. This drug plays a major role in the training of athletes who maintain their weight and seek to keep it off.
Dosage
For use in patients for anemia or to help individuals gain weight, the adult dose is 2.5- 20 mg/day in 2-4 divided doses. Some individuals see a response with the lowest dose and others require a large dose 30-150 mg/day. The duration of therapy is usually 3-6 weeks. The dose is increased gradually when no response is seen in the first 4 weeks. Oxandrin is available as a tablet in doses of 2.5 mg or 10 mg.
