Fluoxymesterone (Fluoxymesterone (Halotestin))

Category: Anabolic Steroids. Status: FDA-approved drug (controlled substance).

A very potent oral androgen (Halotestin) prescribed historically for hypogonadism and breast cancer, known non-medically for dramatic strength and aggression increases without added mass. Educational reference only.

How it works

A 17-alpha-alkylated, fluorinated derivative of methyltestosterone with extremely high androgenic potency. It boosts strength, aggression, and red blood cells rapidly but does little for muscle size.
