    Author: Stanhope R, Brook CG.
    Journal: Arch Dis Child; 1985 Apr; 60(4):379-81. PubMed ID: 4004317.
    Abstract:
    Twenty four boys with delayed pubertal growth spurt were treated with oxandrolone (2.5 mg daily) for 0.21 to 0.65 years. The mean increment of growth velocity was 4.4 cm/year during treatment, which was maintained at 3.7 cm/year after treatment. There was no significant change in height for bone age standard deviation scores.
