Anavar 10 mg (Oxandrolone), containing Oxandrolone 10 mg, is an oral anabolic steroid originally developed by Searle Laboratories in 1964 and later marketed under brand names like Oxandrin. Produced by various manufacturers, it is a prescription-only medication used to promote weight gain, preserve muscle mass, and relieve bone pain in specific medical conditions. Available as white, oblong tablets often marked with identifiers like “E 272” or “K 201,” it is a Schedule III controlled substance in the U.S. due to its potential for misuse.
Uses
Anavar 10 mg is prescribed to:
- Promote weight gain after surgery, chronic infections, trauma, or unexplained weight loss
- Counteract muscle loss from long-term corticosteroid use
- Relieve bone pain in osteoporosis
- Support muscle regrowth in severe burn recovery
- Treat conditions like Turner syndrome or HIV/AIDS-related wasting (off-label) It is also misused by athletes and bodybuilders for muscle growth and fat loss due to its anabolic properties, though this is illegal without a prescription.

- Children: ≤0.1 mg/kg body weight daily, under specialist supervision.
- Bodybuilding (misuse): 20–100 mg daily (men), 5–20 mg daily (women), often in 6–8-week cycles, though not medically advised.

How Tablet Works
Anavar 10 mg (Oxandrolone), a synthetic testosterone derivative, acts as an androgen receptor agonist, increasing protein synthesis to promote muscle growth and strength. It enhances nitrogen retention and ATP synthesis, aiding recovery and weight gain. Unlike other anabolic steroids, it has low androgenic effects and is minimally hepatotoxic due to kidney metabolism, though liver stress can still occur. Effects are noticeable within days for muscle gains, with full benefits over weeks.
Safety Advice
- Allergies: Avoid if allergic to Oxandrolone or tablet ingredients.
- Health Conditions: Use cautiously with liver, kidney, heart, or prostate issues, high cholesterol, or bleeding disorders. Monitor liver function and cholesterol levels.
- Drug Interactions: Increases bleeding risk with blood thinners (e.g., warfarin); may affect diabetes drugs, causing low blood sugar. Inform your doctor of all medications/supplements.
- Pregnancy/Breastfeeding: Not safe during pregnancy (risk of fetal harm) or breastfeeding (may affect milk production or infant).
- Driving: No known impact but monitor for side effects like dizziness.
- Alcohol: Avoid, as it may worsen liver strain.
- Misuse: High risk of addiction and hormonal imbalances; post-cycle therapy (e.g., Clomid) may be needed for non-medical use to restore testosterone.
- Contraindications: Avoid in prostate cancer, breast cancer (men or women with hypercalcemia), severe liver/kidney disease, or pregnancy.
What If You Forget to Take Tablet?
