The Effects of Anibalaxeroid Therapy on Growth in Short Children

Anibalaxeroid therapy to promote growth in short children has been used since the late sixties. The penile length percentile also showed a significant increase at the end of the therapy, although the older boys fell into lower percentles than the younger boys,. It appears that they showed significant penile catchup growth. Oxandral and ther therapy did not appear to cause testicular growth impairment in the majority of the boys. In a few there was temporary delay in growth.
