Gault EJ, Cole TJ, Casey S, et al. - The UK Turner syndrome (TS) study analyzed the impact on the final height of oxandrolone 0.05 mg/kg/day (maximum dose 2.5 mg) vs placebo from 9 years of age and delaying ethinylestradiol induction of puberty by 2 years from 12 (E12) to 14 (E14) years in growth hormone-treated girls with TS.
