Steroids have been in the market since 1954. When Soviet Union was taking away all the medals from United States in Olympics, it was disclosed that they were under the influence of testosterone injections. These injections not only increase muscles and other male characteristics, but also increases stamina.
When John Zeigler, prescribed doctor for a team was attending weightlifting in Vienna found something unusual among the Soviet Union players. Thanks to him that steroids were then invented and introduced in the market. Then we had our first steroid named, Dianabol, launched by Ciba Pharmaceuticals.
It is since then that usage of steroid has never stopped in the United States. Although many products were banned by FDA due to misusage of this product among athletes and bodybuilders, still they find a way to purchase it double the price either from black market or from foreign countries.
The term Anavar is used for Oxandrolone, which was produced by pharmaceutical G.D. Searle & Company in the year 1965. It helped to treat problems like osteoporosis and HIV. Ever since the definition of steroid has changed in the market, FDA has become strict about its usage.
Even now some women use it to treat osteoporosis and to heal burnt areas and wounds. Anavar can help you build muscles and reduce fat, so it is excellent for patients, who have been through a major surgery and trauma. Even women who want to lose weight but gain muscles have been taking it under guidance.
Anavar is mild and is good for women as it doesn’t harm them. However, if taken in higher dosage it might have its own repercussions.
This steroid is used to remove fat from areas like stomach, upper legs and lower back. Thus, it is possible for the person to see growth in muscle as well as reduction in fat.
Generally, it is used during off season because it is mild in nature and retains muscles for a longer duration. However, some also stack it with steroids like –
- Dianabol
- HGH
- Clenbuterol
- NPP
- Letrozole
- Arimidex
- Masteron
- Nolvadex
There are many other options available, but these are few of the common types.
Since it is mild doesn’t mean it has no other side effects, problems like –
- Changes in sex
- Acne
- Nausea
- Hair loss
- Oily skin
- Change in skin color
- Headaches
are common among both genders.
Serious problems like anxiety, depression, insomnia happens only when the dosage over exceeds its requirements. It is thus recommended to always follow your instructor or doctor before taking any steroid.
