Anavar is medically prescribed for the treatment of individuals diagnosed with involuntary weight loss caused by chronic or acute injury, infection, or illness. This drug is one of the very few steroids that can even be used by sick patients as it is metabolized by the kidney and not the liver, like most anabolic compounds. It is also beneficial for treating loss of body muscle, the elderly with weight loss problems, cancer patients on chemotherapy, and HIV positive patients.
