Mild LFT rise on Oxandrolone – Is this normal?

I started Oxandrolone 20 mg daily just a month ago for lean muscle gain. I felt the usual mild boost in strength, but a few days in, I felt more tired than usual and my stomach a little off. I asked my GP for a quick liver panel because I’ve read that even moderate doses can irritate the liver.

5× the upper limit. No symptoms of jaundice or dark urine, just theulla. I trimmed the dose to 10 mg and the enzymes settled back to normal after a month.

I now do quarterly check‑ups just to be sure. If you’re on Oxandrolone, it might be worth looking at enzymes early on, especially if you’re taking higher doses or have a history of liver issues. Don’t ignore even mild fatigue; it can be a red flag.

Also, stay hydrated and avoid alcohol while on it. What’s y’all’s experience?
