How Did Swallowing Anavar Triple a Liver Test?

From the episode: Exercise, Nutrition, Hormones for Vitality & Longevity | Dr. Peter Attia

On Huberman Lab, a clinician stopped using Anavar to lower SHBG. The question was whether Anavar was still used because Anavar is too potent. The reply was that Anavar is simply too complicated for patients. Anavar cannot be taken orally, so each dose has to sit under the tongue, like a troche.

One patient was told about 87 times and still swallowed the Anavar tablets. The dose was 10 milligrams three times a week. The clinician first said three months of swallowing, then corrected the span to two months. Two months of swallowing Anavar every time tripled his liver function test. After the liver function test tripled, Anavar was not worth the hassle of chasing perfection.
