Title: Atripla & Anavar
Post by: livelife83 on August 21, 2011, 08:43:03 pm

i was thinking of taking anavar to gain some muscle, i am currently taking atripla and was told that i would have to take anavar with milk thistle to prevent liver damage, does anyone have any experiences with these products?

Steroids, especially oral steroids are notorious for causing liver damage.  Milk Thistle has not been proven to prevent this (who told you this? Someone ar the gym).  People who are HIV + are already at greater risk of developing liver disease.  This is a bad idea.   What does your doctor say about this?

i have not told my DR yet, Anavar is prescribed to HIV + people so i would imagine it is safe.
