Anavar and antibiotics

I’m a var connoisseur, so I’ve actually been on antibiotics multiple times while running var.

Antibiotics affect gut biome negatively, that’s no secret. It’s also recommended not to drink on antibiotics for multiple reasons.

My experience was that when I took them together, I would get constipated and have some “bubble-gut”. My guess is that I’m constantly on the cusp of a water imbalance with var (full but dry and cramp easily).
Thank you!!!
Logic, yes.

But also experience.

And I’d be willing to be there is a scientific reason for it too, but not a known interaction per se.

Amoxicillin-clavulanate (Includes amoxicillin/clavulanate) ↔ hepatotoxicity
Major Potential Hazard, Moderate plausibility. Applies to: Liver Disease
The administration of amoxicillin-clavulanate has infrequently been associated with hepatotoxicity such as elevations in serum transaminases, bilirubin, and/or alkaline phosphatase. The histologic findings on liver biopsy have consisted of predominantly cholestatic and/or hepatocellular changes. Symptoms may occur during or several weeks after therapy. The hepatotoxicity is generally reversible, although deaths have been reported on rare occasions, mostly in patients with serious underlying diseases or concomitant use of other medications. Liver enzyme abnormalities have also been observed with the use of amoxicillin or ampicillin alone. According to the manufacturer, therapy with amoxicillin-clavulanate should be administered cautiously in patients with evidence of hepatic dysfunction. Periodic monitoring of liver function is recommended during prolonged therapy. The use of amoxicillin-clavulanate is contraindicated in patients with a history of cholestatic jaundice or hepatic dysfunction associated with the drug.

From drugs.com. Given OX is a C-17 drug in theory it might potentiate the potential for A-C hepatotoxicity given it is cholestatic just like C-17 AAS. IMO, drop the OX until you are off the A-C for about 2 weeks, if you want to be sure, do an on-line lab order for a general chem that includes ALT/AST, if they are normal, then the A-C did not have an effect.

If anavar, particularly at female doses, were tough on the liver, I’d agree.

Couple of drinks a night are worse for your liver than 10-20mg of var per day.

That’s not good news. I’m off of it as of yesterday.

I can speak what I would do if I had injury that has really negative impact of my training. I would go off-cycle and recover from the injury. And after I am fully recovered I would start a new cycle and train hard.
I would focus on conditioning and getting myself back on track.
