Question

What is Oxandrin and what does it do?

Answer

Oxandrin is a prescription medication for the treatment of involuntary weight loss. This is a serious health problem and is associated with a wide range of medical conditions.

Oxandrin is mainly prescribed by doctors in America. Although it is prescribed for medical use, Oxandrin is an anabolic steroid. Anabolic steroids are only available by prescription in the UK. These drugs are sometimes obtained illegally by body builders and athletes to speed up the process of building muscles and strength and they're one of the most commonly abused type of drugs. It is an offence to possess them for personal use if they are not obtained by prescription and they are categorised as a Class C drug.

If you are concerned about your (or someone else's) steroid use, contact Frank on 0800 77 66 00 for free and confidential advice and information relating to the risks and effects of drug use.
