Fluoxymesterone
is a performance-enhancing, synthetic steroid approved by the FDA for the
treatment of testosterone deficiency and certain diseases. It helps maintain
and increase muscle mass. Modern applications include the treatment of muscle
wasting and, in some cases, supporting athletes in performance enhancement.
Fluoxymesterone is used in substitution growth therapies (SGT) to normalize
hormonal balance. The drug was developed in the 1950s.
