by Bill Roberts - Fluoxymesterone is a halogenated
derivative of 17-alpha-methyltestosterone. Contrary
to what one might expect, this drug has poor binding
to the Androgen Receptor (AR). Presumably its effects
are largely non-AR mediated. It however is a rather
toxic drug and I consider it to be a poor choice
except perhaps pre-contest for those willing to
suffer its toxicity, or for endurance athletes in
non-tested competitions.
Fluoxymesterone is the
chemical name of active ingredient in Halotestin.
Halotestin is a registered trademark of Pharmacia
& Upjohn Company in the United States and/or other
countries.
