Oxandrolone 2.5mg tablets

This literature review article sought to investigate the therapeutic use of oxandrolone, a steroid  widely used for its anabolic properties, mainly to increase the performance of athletes. Its  clinical use in the treatment of various pathological conditions, on the other hand, is not well  known. Thus, the objective of this work is to synthesize information, from the existing  literature, regarding oxandrolone aimed at clinical use. For this, a literature review was carried  out, based on a search for articles in Science Direct and in the PUBMED databases, considering  clinical studies and systematic reviews, published between 2019 and 2024. The literature  showed that the main use of oxandrolone is indicated for height gain in syndromes such as Klinefelter and Turner, in the treatment of patients with severe burns, critically ill patients and  even in the treatment of blood disorders due to bone marrow disorders. Its therapeutic properties  are based mainly on its hematogenic, anabolic and immunomodulatory properties, which aid in  the recovery of hematologic dyscrasias, loss of muscle mass and healing, respectively. The  literature also shows that the use of oxandrolone is safe, with lower cardiovascular and  hepatotoxic risks compared to other steroids. The main adverse effects include virilization, acne  and deepening of the voice. However, these are transient effects.
