Anavars

Anavars, another word for Oxandrolone. I use the word Anavars to describe more than one in the world of Anabolics!
Many different labs create Anavars for the market. Some of those labs being Pharmacutical whilst others are UGL (Underground Lab)
How many different types of Anavar can you think of?
From the top of my head I can think of, and in no particular order, IRONSUP, ProChem, Hi-Tech, Searle, BD, MediTech, Teragon, GenexPharma, AP, BP, Human Pharm, Body Nutrition, Rohm, Centrino, Genesis, Fuerza, US Pharmatech, Geneza, Delta, Dragon Pharma, Quantum, Generic Labs, Medistar, zydex, Lixus, Swiss Pharm, and more!!!!!

I have probably missed so many labs, do you know of any I did miss?

So my question on Anavars is this... Overrated? or underrated?
What have your experiences been using Anavars, perhaps you could give us the brand/s you tried and how did it go?
Also at what dosages did you try it?

for those that have never tried using any Anavars, here is a quick recap as to what they are.

Oxandrolone, also known as oxandrin, is a drug first synthesized by Raphael Pappo while at Searle Laboratories, now Pfizer Inc., under the trademark Anavar, and introduced into the United States in 1964. It is a synthetic anabolic steroid derivative of dihydrotestosterone with an oxygen atom replacing the 2 carbon and methylation in the 17 position.

Biological effects
Oxandrolone is widely used due to its exceptionally small level of androgenicity accompanied by moderate anabolic effect. Although oxandrolone is a 17-alpha alkylated steroid, its liver toxicity is very small as well. Studies have showed that a daily dose of 20 mg oxandrolone used in the course of 12 weeks had only a negligible impact on the increase of liver enzymes. As a DHT derivative, oxandrolone does not aromatize (convert to estrogen, which causes gynecomastia or male breast tissue). It also does not significantly influence the body's normal testosterone production (HPTA axis) at low dosages (20 mg). When dosages are high, the human body reacts by reducing the production of LH (luteinizing hormone), thinking endogenous testosterone production is too high; this in turn eliminates further stimulation of Leydig cells in the testicles, causing testicular atrophy (shrinking). Oxandrolone used in a dose of 20 mg/day suppressed endogenous testosterone by 67% after 12 weeks of therapy.[1]

In a randomized, double-blind study, patients with 40% total body surface area burns were selected to receive standard burn care plus oxandrolone, or without oxandrolone. Those treated with oxandrolone showed improved body composition, preserved muscle mass and reduced hospital stay time.

History
The drug was prescribed to promote muscle regrowth in disorders which cause involuntary weight loss, and is used as part of treatment for HIV/AIDS. It had also been shown to be partially successful in treating cases of osteoporosis. However, in part due to bad publicity from its abuses by bodybuilders, production of Anavar was discontinued by Searle Laboratories in 1989. It was picked up by Bio-Technology General Corporation, now Savient Pharmaceuticals who, following successful clinical trials in 1995, released it under the tradename Oxandrin.
It was subsequently approved for orphan drug status by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for treating alcoholic hepatitis, Turner syndrome, and HIV-induced weight loss. It is also indicated as an offset to protein catabolism caused by long-term administration of corticosteroids. In addition, the drug has shown positive results in treating anemia and hereditary angioedema. Because of its potential for abuse, it is categorized as a Schedule III controlled substance in the United States.
