Description | Fluoxymesterone(Halotestin) is a steroid with an androgenic property that is used in primary hypogonadism and testicular failure due to cryptorchidism, vanishing testes syndrome, or orchidectomy; and in hypogonadotrophic hypogonadism and luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH) deficiency or pituitary hypothalamic injury from tumors, trauma, or radiation. It mimics the actions of testosterone, which is responsible for normal growth and development of the male sex organs and for the maintenance of secondary sex characteristics. In female postmenopausal patients, fluoxymesterone may be indicated in the palliation of recurrent mammary cancer. |
