Oxandrolone is a synthetic steroid that is structurally similar to the naturally occurring hormone testosterone. It belongs to a class of medications known as anabolic steroids, which are designed to support the development of muscle tissue.
Medically, Oxandrolone has been prescribed to help individuals regain weight lost due to major surgery, severe physical trauma, long-term infections, or certain chronic medical conditions that lead to unintended weight loss.
Because it affects hormone levels and metabolism, Oxandrolone should only be used under the supervision of a qualified healthcare professional.
