WHAT IS OXANDROLONE
Oxandrolone is a man-made steroid, similar to the naturally occurring steroid testosterone. Oxandrolone is an “anabolic” steroid that promotes the growth of muscle tissue. Oxandrolone is used to help you regain weight lost after surgery, severe trauma, or chronic infections. Oxandrolone is also used in people who cannot gain or maintain a healthy weight for unknown medical reasons. Oxandrolone is also used to decrease muscle loss caused by using steroid medicines, and to reduce bone pain in people with osteoporosis.
Oxandrolone may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
You should not use oxandrolone if you have prostate cancer, advanced kidney disease, high levels of calcium in your blood, breast cancer, or if you are pregnant.
Some people using anabolic steroid medicine have developed life-threatening side effects on the liver, spleen, and blood vessels. These conditions can occur without warning or symptoms and can lead to liver failure, internal bleeding, cancer, stroke, heart attack, or death. Talk with your doctor about the risks and benefits of using oxandrolone.
HOW TO USE OXANDROLONE
Oxandrolone is usually given for only a few weeks. Follow all directions on your prescription label. Do not take oxandrolone in larger or smaller amounts or for longer than recommended. Oxandrolone will not enhance athletic performance and should not be used for that purpose. Oxandrolone may be habit-forming. Never share oxandrolone with another person, especially someone with a history of drug abuse or addiction. Keep the medication in a place where others cannot get to it. If a child is taking this medicine, tell your doctor if the child has any changes in weight. Oxandrolone doses are based on weight in children. While using oxandrolone, you will need frequent blood tests. Your kidney function may also need to be checked with urine tests. Oxandrolone can cause bone overgrowth in children, especially young children. Bone development may need to be checked with x-rays every 6 months during treatment. Store at room temperature away from moisture and heat.
