What is oxandrolone?

(ox-AN-dro-lone)

Oxandrolone is an anabolic steroid (synthetic testosterone derivative) used medically for severe burns, trauma recovery, and some muscle-wasting diseases. It is a controlled substance (Schedule III). Off-label, it is prescribed for muscle recovery in clinical settings or under strict supervision. Typical dose: 10–20 mg daily in divided doses. It carries significant hepatotoxicity (liver damage), especially at doses >20 mg daily.

What's in it

  • OxandroloneAnabolic: muscle and recovery (controlled)

Controlled substance

Schedule III; hepatotoxic; no cosmetic indication approved

Oxandrolone is NOT approved for cosmetic muscle gain. It is prescribed only for specific medical conditions (trauma, burns, muscle wasting). Any off-label use requires a videovisit with physician confirmation of medical indication, baseline liver function tests, and lipid panel. Mandatory 4-week follow-up labs.

Is it right for you?

  • Who it's for

    Adults under a physician's care regaining weight after illness, surgery or injury.

  • What sets it apart

    An oral anabolic with a medical history in burns and weight loss from illness. It lowers good cholesterol.

  • Worth knowing before you start

    Liver and cholesterol tests are part of the treatment. It is used in courses, not continuously.

Medical recovery only

  • Medical use only

    prescribed for severe muscle wasting from burns, trauma, disease

  • Hepatotoxicity risk

    liver damage can progress to cirrhosis even at low doses

  • Lipid dysfunction

    cholesterol and triglycerides rise significantly

  • Monthly monitoring non-negotiable

    liver, lipids, hematocrit tracked every 4 weeks

Anabolic steroids: medical use ONLY

  1. Day 1

    Videovisit with US-licensed physician: MEDICAL INDICATION ONLY. If indication is present (severe burns, trauma, disease-related muscle wasting), baseline labs ordered (AST, ALT, GGT, lipids, hematocrit, PSA).

    1
  2. Week 1

    Baseline labs reviewed. If liver or lipids are abnormal, anabolic steroid use is contraindicated. If normal, prescription issued with monthly monitoring schedule.

    2
  3. Month 1

    First follow-up: liver function tests (AST, ALT, GGT), lipids, hematocrit. If any are elevated or worsening, steroid use is stopped.

    3
  4. Month 2–3

    Continued monthly labs. Muscle recovery monitored clinically. If recovery is sufficient, steroid use is tapered and stopped.

    4
  5. Beyond

    Anabolic steroids are tapered over weeks, not stopped abruptly (withdrawal risk). Post-cycle labs at 4–6 weeks confirm liver recovery.

Anabolic steroids and hepatotoxicity

Oxandrolone binds to androgen receptors, promoting protein synthesis and lean muscle growth. It is less virilizing than testosterone but more anabolic (muscle-building).

Oxandrolone is hepatotoxic: it can damage liver cells and raise liver enzymes (ALT, AST), especially at doses >20 mg daily or with long-term use >12 weeks. Lipid profile (cholesterol, triglycerides) also deteriorates.

Important safety information and common side effects

Anabolic steroids (oxandrolone, stanozolol, nandrolone) are controlled substances (Schedule III) with NO cosmetic approval. They are prescribed ONLY for severe medical muscle wasting (burns, trauma, specific diseases). Off-label or cosmetic use is illegal and carries severe health risks: hepatotoxicity (liver damage), lipid dysfunction (elevated cholesterol/triglycerides), hypertension, mood changes, fertility loss, and increased clotting risk. Liver damage can progress to cirrhosis. Baseline liver function tests and lipid panels are mandatory before any use; monthly monitoring is required. Any physician-patient encounter for anabolic steroids must include videovisit confirmation of medical indication and documented labs. Tell your physician about liver disease, high cholesterol, clotting disorders, or cardiac risk. Stop immediately and seek care for jaundice, dark urine, severe abdominal pain, chest pain, leg swelling, or signs of stroke.

Frequently asked questions

How do I take Oxandrolone Capsules?

Taken by mouth, once a day. The starting prescription is 1 capsule (5 mg) each time. Your physician sets your own dose and it is printed on your label.

What strengths does Oxandrolone Capsules come in?

The pharmacy carries 3: 5 mg, 10 mg, 25 mg. Your physician chooses which one you get.

How much arrives in each shipment?

30 capsules at the starting strength, shipped to your door from a licensed US pharmacy.

Is it a controlled substance?

Yes. The law requires a live video visit with the physician before it can be prescribed.

Can I use oxandrolone for cosmetic muscle gain?

No. Oxandrolone is a controlled anabolic steroid with no FDA approval for cosmetic muscle building. It is prescribed only for severe medical conditions (burns, trauma, muscle-wasting disease). Any use must have a documented medical indication, confirmed by videovisit, with mandatory liver and lipid monitoring. Cosmetic-only use carries legal risk and serious health risks.

Can I use anabolic steroids for cosmetic muscle gain?

No. Anabolic steroids are controlled (Schedule III) with NO FDA approval for cosmetic muscle. Any cosmetic use is illegal and carries legal penalties and severe health risks (liver damage, lipid dysfunction, fertility loss). Medical indication must be documented via videovisit.

Why are monthly labs mandatory?

Anabolic steroids damage the liver and lipid metabolism within weeks. Monthly liver function tests (AST, ALT, GGT) and lipids detect damage early. If liver enzymes rise significantly or lipids worsen, the steroid is stopped immediately to prevent cirrhosis.

How long can I use anabolic steroids?

Duration depends on medical indication. Typically, 4–12 weeks for acute muscle wasting (burns, trauma), with dose tapering and cessation over 2–4 weeks. Long-term use increases liver damage and cirrhosis risk. Always under physician supervision with monthly monitoring.
