Use of Oxandrolone to Promote Growth in Neonates Following Surgery for Complex Congenial HD

[drtbear1967]

Preliminary but interesting study involving 15 subjects(whom happen to be new born babies) taking oxandrolone either mixed in water or in MCT oil. Protocol was 3 groups of 5, 0.1mg/kg in water, 0.2mg/kg in water, and 0.1mg/kg in MCT oil for 28 days. The newborns were given oxandrolone following surgical repair of complex congenital heart disease to prevent muscle wasting. The results show that the group taking oxandrolone in MCT oil kept the most body weight post-op vs the other groups...including the dose that was 2x the amount of oxandrolone! This suggests that MCT oil may improve bioavailability of oxandrolone(and possibly other oral androgens). Steroids are hydrophobic meaning fat soluble, so dissolving them in MCT first may act as a carrier to help get them into your cells more efficiently. It makes sense to me from a biochem standpoint and might be worth trying (or eating with a high fat meal) next time you take an oral androgen. <!-- /react-text -->

This shows that there are many valid medical uses for AAS. This is why they shouldn't be classified as schedule III substances.

100% Agree with you my friend.

I know sometime drugs are recommend taken with meals and the only reason for this is that it makes it easier for people to remember to take their meds. Other than T3 is there anything out there in the AAS/PH/SARM areana that needs to be taken on an empty stomach?
