Can you take Children's ElixSure with Oxandrolone?

The acetaminophen in Children's ElixSure has a major potential interaction with Alcoholism.

Chronic alcohol abusers may be at increased risk of hepatotoxicity during treatment with acetaminophen (APAP). Severe liver injury, including cases of acute liver failure resulting in liver transplant and death, has been reported in patients using acetaminophen. Therapy with acetaminophen should be administered cautiously, if at all, in patients who consume three or more alcoholic drinks a day. In general, patients should avoid drinking alcohol while taking acetaminophen-containing medications. Patients should be warned not to exceed the maximum recommended total daily dosage of acetaminophen (4 g/day in adults and children 12 years of age or older), and to read all prescription and over-the-counter medication labels to ensure they are not taking multiple acetaminophen-containing products, or check with a healthcare professional if they are unsure. They should also be advised to seek medical attention if they experience signs and symptoms of liver injury such as fever, rash, anorexia, nausea, vomiting, fatigue, right upper quadrant pain, dark urine, and jaundice.

Oxandrolone has a major potential interaction with Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia.

The use of androgenic anabolic steroids is contraindicated for male patients with carcinoma of the breast or prostate. Circulating androgens can be converted in peripheral tissues to estrogens and dihydrotestosterone, which may act as promoters of tumor growth in the breast and prostate, respectively. Likewise, androgenic agents may cause enlargement of the prostate and should be used cautiously in patients with or predisposed to prostatic hypertrophy.

Oxandrolone has a major potential interaction with Bleeding Disorder.

Androgenic anabolic steroids may cause suppression of clotting factors II, V, VII, and X, and an increase in prothrombin time. Androgen therapy should be administered cautiously in patients with bleeding disorders.

Oxandrolone has a major potential interaction with Breast Cancer.

When treated with androgenic anabolic steroids, patients with metastatic breast cancer may develop hypercalcemia due to osteolysis. Frequent determination of urine and serum calcium levels is recommended during therapy with androgenic agents. If hypercalcemia occurs, therapy should be stopped. The development of hypercalcemia may indicate progression of metastases to the bone.

Oxandrolone has a major potential interaction with High Cholesterol.

Androgenic anabolic steroids may adversely affect serum lipids, including lowering HDL and elevating LDL levels. These changes can be marked, particularly with the 17-alpha-alkyl derivatives (i.e., fluoxymesterone, methyltestosterone, oxandrolone, oxymetholone, and stanozolol), and may significantly impact the risk of atherosclerosis and coronary artery disease. Patients with preexisting hyperlipoproteinemia may require closer monitoring during therapy with androgenic agents, and adjustments made accordingly in their lipid-lowering regimen. Androgen therapy should be administered cautiously in patients with coronary artery disease or a history of ischemic heart disease.

Oxandrolone has a moderate potential interaction with Hypercalcemia.

Androgenic anabolic steroids decrease urinary excretion of calcium, which may result in hypercalcemia. Therapy with androgenic agents should be administered cautiously in patients with hypercalcemia, disorders of bone metabolism such as hyperparathyroidism, or renal dysfunction. Some manufacturers consider the use of androgenic anabolic steroids to be contraindicated in patients with hypercalcemia.

Oxandrolone has a moderate potential interaction with Hyperparathyroidism.

Oxandrolone has a minor potential interaction with Hyperthyroidism.

When androgenic anabolic steroids are used in patients with thyroid disorders, clinicians should be aware that these agents may affect thyroid function tests. Specifically, thyroid-binding globulin levels may be decreased, resulting in lower total T4 serum levels and increased resin uptake of T3 and T4. Free thyroid hormone levels remain unchanged, however.

Oxandrolone has a major potential interaction with Ischemic Heart Disease.

Androgenic anabolic steroids may adversely affect serum lipids, including lowering HDL and elevating LDL levels. These changes can be marked, particularly with the 17-alpha-alkyl derivatives (i.e., fluoxymesterone, methyltestosterone, oxandrolone, oxymetholone, and stanozolol), and may significantly impact the risk of atherosclerosis and coronary artery disease. Patients with preexisting hyperlipoproteinemia may require closer monitoring during therapy with androgenic agents, and adjustments made accordingly in their lipid-lowering regimen.

Oxandrolone has a major potential interaction with Liver Disease.

The use of androgenic anabolic steroids may be associated with development of cholestatic hepatitis and jaundice. Other, more serious hepatotoxicities such as peliosis hepatis and hepatocellular neoplasms are rare but may occur with prolonged use or high dosages. These latter toxicities may be fatal and often not recognized until they become life-threatening. Patients with preexisting liver diseases should be monitored more closely during therapy with anabolic steroids if they are used. If liver function declines or toxicity occurs, therapy should be withdrawn and the cause investigated.
