Indications
Oxyplex(Oxymetholone) is a synthetic anabolic-androgenic steroid hormone that is
structurally related to the male hormone testosterone. Synthetic androgens
are used to treat a variety of conditions including hypogonadism and
delayed puberty. Androgens are also used to correct hereditary
angioneurotic edema, manage carcinoma of the breast, promote a positive
nitrogen balance following injury or surgery, and stimulate erythropoiesis.
Considerable amounts of androgens are consumed by athletes in attempts
to improve athletic performance. Oxyplex is used to promote
weight gain and counteract weakness and emaciation resulting from
debilitating diseases, such as advanced HIV infection, and after serious
infections, burns, trauma, or surgery. It is marketed as a human
prescription drug for the treatment of
bone marrow failure anemias and deficient red cell production anemias.
