Long-term results of treatment with low-dose fluoxymesterone in constitutional delay of growth and puberty and in genetic short stature.

Strickland AL.

Spartanburg Regional Medical Center, SC.

This prospective study was designed to assess growth response, side effects, other possible long-term effects, and final adult height in boys treated with the oral androgen, fluoxymesterone. From 1973 to 1984, eighty-two short boys (71 with constitutional delay of growth and puberty [CDGP] and 11 with genetic short stature [GSS]) were treated with daily oral doses of 2.5 mg of fluoxymesterone from 6 to 60 months. Final height assessment was made from 1989 to 1991. A group of 34 untreated boys (26 with CDGP and 8 with GSS) were also followed to assess the accuracy of the Greulich-Pyle and Bayley-Pinneau (GP-BP) and sexual maturity index height prediction methods. During treatment, each patient had a 1.7- to 2.5-fold increase in linear growth velocity. Accelerated velocity (over baseline) continued as long as the bone age was less than 14 years. No adverse androgenic effects (or undue acceleration of puberty) were observed. Final height exceeded pretreatment predictions for CDGP + GSS by 6.1 +/- 3.5 (SD) cm (GP-BP) and 5.4 +/- 3.2 cm (sexual maturity index). It is concluded that a daily oral dose of 2.5 mg of fluoxymesterone can be used to accelerate linear growth in boys with CDGP and GSS when needed to alleviate emotional problems secondary to slow growth and short stature without fear of compromising final adult height.

Man maybe I should have used halo a long time ago. lol

According to this Halo is detectable for 2 months:

Detection times for AAS

Boldenone Undecyclenate 4-5 months
Clen 4-5 Days
Ephedrin 6-10 Days
Halo 2 months
Proviron 5 weeks
D-Bol 5 weeks
Methamphetamin 6-10 Days
Primo Depot 4-5 weeks
Deca 18 months
Nandrolon Phenylprop 12 months
Anavar 3 weeks
Anadrol 2 months
Winny oral 3 weeks
Winny inj 2 months
Test cyp 3 months
Test enat 3 months
Sustanon 3 months
Test Prop 2-3 weeks
Andriol 1 week
Tremolon Acet 4-5 weeks
Test supspenison No metabolites. t/e should
be back to normal in days.


However according to this study looks like it is only dectable for 5 days or so anybody know where the 2 months is coming from?

Testing for fluoxymesterone (Halotestin) administration to man: identification of urinary metabolites by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry.

Kammerer RC, Merdink JL, Jagels M, Catlin DH, Hui KK.

Paul Ziffren Olympic Analytical Laboratory, UCLA Department of Pharmacology, School of Medicine 90024.

Fluoxymesterone, an anabolic steroid, is metabolized in man primarily by 6 beta-hydroxylation, 4-ene-reduction, 3-keto-reduction, and 11-hydroxy-oxidation. These pathways of metabolism are suggested by the positive identification of 4 metabolites and the tentative identification of 3 other metabolites. Detection of the drug in urine is possible for at least 5 days after a single 10 mg oral dose to previously untreated adult males, by monitoring the presence of 2 metabolites, since the parent drug is not detectable more than 1 day after the dose.

so I guess no one knows. the correct detection time of halo?

I sure could have used some Halo when I was a kid. I'm only 5'5" lol

it would only work in children and possibly young adults if their epiphaseal plates are still spongy or soft.
