Does Oxandrolone Affect Hormone Levels?
Hi there, I am wondering if taking oxandrolone which has been proven to help cancer patients to gain weight would affect thyroid hormone level. I am currently taking Synthroid 175 mcg and my family doctor has no idea about this. There is one idea that it may induce clinical hyperthyroidism in one study but the manufacturer s insert does not indicate as such.

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
You have cancer. Oxandrolone is not known to cause thyroid issues commonly. It is not a common sids effect. So use of Oxandrolone is justifiable in cancer patient. Where risk benefits ratio is favourable.
Consult your doctor and start treatment accordingly.
