OXANDROLONE

OXANDROLONE, brand of Oxandrolone tablets, is an anabolic steroid, a synthetic derivative of testosterone. Each tablet contains 5 mg and 10 mg of Oxandrolone USP29, micronized grade. It is designated chemically as 17ß-hydroxy-17α-methyl-2-oxa-5α-androstan-3-one.

It occurs as white odourless crystalline powder. Soluble 1 in 5200 of water, 1 in 57 of alcohol, 1 in 69 of acetone, 1 in less than 5 of chloroform and 1 in 860 of ether.

OXANDROLONE is a well tolerated 17-alpha alkylated anabolic steroid with very low hepatic toxicity. It promotes anabolism through androgen receptor activity and has a low     incidence of adverse reactions. When taken in clinical doses, OXANDROLONE promotes improvements in strength and moderate increases in muscle mass. OXANDROLONE has been demonstrated to enhance body fat reduction significantly in both the abdominal and visceral stores (Int. J. Obesity, 1995; 19: 614-624). OXANDROLONE will not aromatize and therefore the anabolic effect of this compound can promote linear growth. OXANDROLONE has shown great promise in nerve regeneration, skin healing in bum victims, and      increased rate of healing after traumatic events.
