Oxandrolone is an anabolic steroid used to promote the development of muscle tissue. It has a high anabolic to androgenic effect ratio.
Frequently Asked Questions
Oxandrolone will sometimes be co-prescribed with testosterone. This is because oxandrolone can make endogenous testosterone levels plummet, and this is an important hormone with multiple functions in the body. Oxandrolone has a high myotrophic (muscle promoting) to androgenic (masculinizing effects) ratio, and there's no advantage to using it together with other anabolic steroids like nandrolone or stanozol with a comparable anabolic profile. Oxandrolone would be favored when weight gain is desired, such as in catabolic conditions like trauma, burn injury or surgery.
