Oxandrolone Troche (Each)
Oxandrolone Troches are a form of the anabolic steroid oxandrolone designed to dissolve slowly in the mouth, allowing for gradual absorption. This medication is prescribed to help patients gain weight after surgery, trauma, or chronic illnesses that cause severe weight loss. It is also used to treat conditions that result in muscle wasting or bone weakness. Oxandrolone is considered a milder anabolic steroid compared to others, but it should only be used under medical supervision due to potential side effects.
Oxandrolone works by mimicking the activity of testosterone, promoting the growth of muscle tissue and enhancing protein synthesis. It helps the body retain nitrogen, which is essential for building and maintaining muscle mass. Additionally, it supports bone mineralization and strength, making it useful for conditions involving bone loss. By increasing red blood cell production, it can also improve oxygen delivery to muscles, aiding recovery and overall physical endurance.
Oxandrolone should not be used by individuals with liver disease, prostate cancer, or breast cancer. It is also contraindicated in pregnant women or those with known hypersensitivity to anabolic steroids. Special care is necessary when treating patients with high blood pressure, heart disease, or kidney problems, as these conditions can be worsened by the drug. It is important to avoid long-term use and ensure regular monitoring of liver function, blood pressure, and hormonal levels throughout treatment.
Some individuals may experience mild side effects like nausea, headache, or changes in appetite. Others might develop fluid retention, weight fluctuations, or muscle cramps. More serious risks include liver toxicity, increased cholesterol, and elevated blood pressure. Men may face testicular shrinkage, decreased sperm count, or breast enlargement, while women may experience deepening of the voice, irregular menstrual cycles, or unwanted hair growth. Any unusual or severe reactions should be reported immediately to a healthcare professional.
Oxandrolone is not safe for use during pregnancy, as it can interfere with the development of the fetus, potentially causing irreversible changes. It is also unsafe for breastfeeding mothers because the drug may pass into breast milk and affect the nursing child’s growth and hormonal balance. Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals should consult their doctor to explore safer treatment options for managing weight or muscle-related health issues.
