Please Scroll Down to See Forums Below Heard on the radio the other day about a Doctor, here in Australia I think, that was struck off for prescribing testosterone to a 16 year old girl because she wanted to gain weight. I know a women who is very light for her height and her Doctor has tried everything to help her gain weight but she reckoned she has never heard of such a drastic step. If the girl did it by choice it wouldn't be as bad, still don't like the idea at that age, but apparently she had no idea what she was taking. A friend wko knew a number of AS users and dealers told me that she will wait until she was 18 before she thought about useing, she was 15 at the time. She knows what happens to a teens body after a 14 year old male friend did a cycle. She did admit she used 1 injection of something when he was on it but didn't really see anything or want to do it.

It is prescribed for weight gain in medically necessary cases. I think any injectable would be too harsh for someone so young(not to mention female), but ox might be the sound choice.
But the medical reason would have to be more than the girl doesnt have an appetite or doesnt eat enough. It would have to be something physical going on to cause it.

Test and other mild synthetic forms of T are often used for cancer patients to maintain and even add LBM. My mother during the last year of her life with cancer was on Test. It is also used now with some AIDS patients (in the netherlands, dont know about here).
In these cases it was serious illness cause low bodywieghts, not sure why a skinny teener would need Test to gain. Unless there is something we dont know, perhaps she was low on T naturally and this was causing her thinness.

Testosterone causes lean muscle tissue to grow, estrogen causes fat to accumulate.
For strictly "weight" gain, estrogen. Fat is far easier to gain than muscle is...
I don't know anything else about the case as I only heard the report twice on the radio and it was the only time I even heard about. Eitherway I would wonder about the wisdom of prescribing drugs such as this to someone with no knowledge of them or how to use them. I have heard of stories of kids barely into their teens useing AS, and while I don't agree with young kids useing if it their choice then so be it.
