Oxandrolone — Anavar 10 by Dragon Pharma
Anavar 10 is Dragon Pharma's formulation of oral Oxandrolone at 10mg per tablet — widely regarded as one of the mildest anabolic steroids available, valued for lean muscle retention, fat loss support and minimal water retention. Supplied in a 100-tablet pack, the 10mg dosage suits the conservative, precise dosing Anavar is typically run at.

What Is Oxandrolone (Anavar)?
Oxandrolone is a DHT-derived oral anabolic steroid developed with a focus on minimising androgenic and hepatotoxic effects relative to its anabolic activity — among the most favourable anabolic-to-androgenic ratios of any oral compound. It does not aromatise, produces minimal water retention, and is one of the few anabolic steroids commonly used by women at therapeutic-style doses. Its reputation for being "mild" is relative — it remains a genuine anabolic steroid that suppresses natural testosterone and carries real hepatic considerations, just less pronounced than most other oral compounds.
Effects and Benefits
- Lean muscle retention during caloric deficits — particularly valued for cutting phases
- Noticeable strength gains without significant size or weight increase
- No aromatisation — minimal water retention and no estrogen-related side effects
- Increased vascularity and muscle hardness with continued training and diet
- One of the most commonly used oral steroids among women due to its comparatively mild androgenic profile
Dosage and Administration
| User Profile | Typical Dose | Cycle Length |
|---|---|---|
| Women | 5–10 mg/day (½–1 tab) | 4–6 weeks |
| Men, beginner | 20–30 mg/day (2–3 tabs) | 6–8 weeks |
| Men, intermediate–advanced | 40–80 mg/day (4–8 tabs) | 6–8 weeks |
Due to its ~9-hour half-life, Anavar is typically dosed once or twice daily. At 10mg per tablet, dosing can be adjusted in fine 10mg increments — particularly useful for women running very low doses, where precision matters more than with most other compounds.
Side Effects
Anavar's side effect profile is comparatively mild but not absent:
- Hepatic stress — still a 17-alpha-alkylated oral, though generally considered less harsh than Dianabol or Winstrol at equivalent anabolic effect; cycle length should remain limited to 6–8 weeks
- Negative impact on cholesterol (HDL/LDL ratio), present but often less pronounced than with Winstrol
- Suppression of natural testosterone production — Post Cycle Therapy is required after the cycle, even though Anavar is sometimes mistakenly considered "non-suppressive"
- Mild androgenic effects in sensitive individuals, including voice changes in women at higher doses — a key reason female dosing is kept low
Anavar 10 vs Anavar 50
Dragon Pharma offers Oxandrolone in two tablet strengths:
- Anavar 10 (10mg/tab) — the standard for precise dosing, especially for women and beginners running 20-40mg/day
- Anavar 50 (50mg/tab) — higher per-tablet dose for advanced male users running 50-80mg/day or more, reducing tablet count
Anavar 10 remains the more practical choice for the majority of users — particularly women, beginners and anyone valuing fine dose control. Anavar 50 suits advanced users with an established Oxandrolone tolerance running higher total daily doses.
Building a Cycle Around Anavar 10
Anavar is commonly used in both cutting cycles and as a standalone option for users prioritising a milder approach:
- Testosterone Propionate or Cypionat 250 as a testosterone base
- Primobolan for a similarly mild, lean-mass focused stack
- Winstrol 10 for added hardness in the final weeks of a cutting cycle
- Clomid or Nolvadex for Post Cycle Therapy
"Anavar 10 is formulated for precise 10mg dosing, reflecting how this compound is actually used — in small, carefully measured amounts. It remains one of the most requested compounds among both new and experienced female users."
Storage and Handling
Store Anavar 10 at room temperature, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep the original packaging sealed until use to maintain tablet potency over the product's shelf life.
