Its major application is in increasing strength, muscular hardness and aggression, without increase of body weight. Therefore it is taken before competition by those who want to keep weight category (power athletes, fighters etc.). Halotestin has high liver toxicity.

Pharmacological properties and effects
In medical practice Halotestine was used to treat hypogonadism and delayed puberty in men, as well as breast cancer in women. However, nowadays it is out of use. Fluoxymesterone is about 5 times stronger than methyltestosterone.
Halotestine is close relative of methyltestosterone. It is produced by altering testosterone molecule in 3 positions: a 17-alpha-methyl group, an 11-beta-hydroxy group, and a 9-fluoro group.
- 17-alpha-methyl group prolongs the half-life of the substance by neutralizing the destructive effect of liver enzymes.
- 11-beta-hydroxy group blocks enzymatic transformation of steroid into estrogen, thus preventing estrogen-related side-effects (gynecomastia, water retention etc.).
- 9-fluoro group increases its androgenic properties by facilitating reduction of this steroid in 5a position, which leads to transformation into dihydrotestosterone.
By increasing the amount of red blood cells Halotestin improves endurance and performance – more erythrocytes deliver oxygen to muscles with higher efficiency. Fluoxymesterone also has fat-burning properties, though there are much safer substances for this issue, e.g. :winstrol:, :oxandrolone:.
Sivuvaikutukset
Owing to high level of dihydrotestosterone, which is 8.5 times higher than in testosterone, the side-effects of Halotestin are similar to other androgenic steroids. They include hypertrophy of prostate, prostatic adenoma, hair loss (in case of genetic predisposition), growth of body hair, acne etc. Women should avoid using it due to high risks of virilization.
There may be cardiovascular problems – high blood pressure and increased cholesterol. Halotestin is toxic to the liver. In order to reduce above mentioned side-effects you should follow a healthy lifestyle: avoid taking alcohol or other liver unfriendly substances, include omega 3 fatty acids into your diet, keep your skin clean. In case of evident side-effect discontinue usage of Halotestin.
Annostus ja käyttö
The optimal daily dosage of Fluoxymesterone is 10mg. You should not exceed the maximal dosage of 20mg/day. Prolonged usage (more than 6weeks) may lead to sexual dysfunction.
We have to remind that Halotestin is not efficient in gaining mascle mass (growth of muscle tissue) even in combinations with other compounds. However it is very powerful substance in increasing strength and aggression. Therefore you should take it shortly before the competition.
