| Drug Summary Oxandrin Oxandrin is a prescription medication used to treat certain types of cancer and other serious medical conditions. It belongs to a class of drugs known as alkylating agents, which work by damaging the DNA inside cells, thereby preventing them from dividing and proliferating. Because it targets rapidly dividing cells, Oxandrin can be effective against malignant tumors, but it also affects normal cells that divide quickly, leading to potential side effects. |
