    • Objective: To evaluate oxandrolone, an oral anabolic steroid with potent anabolic activity and minimal androgenic effects, for the treatment of AIDS‐associated myopathy and wasting. Methods: In a multicenter, double‐blind study, 63 HIV‐seropositive men with > 10% loss of body weight were randomized to receive either placebo, 5 mg/day oxandrolone, or 15 mg/day oxandrolone for 16 weeks. Body weight, neuromuscular evaluation, and measures of well‐being were repeatedly assessed. Results: Patients… CONTINUE READING
