Fluoxymesterone Half-Life: Peak and Steady State Chart
[Half-life calculator · Fluoxymesterone]

When does fluoxymesterone peak and reach steady state?

Reviewed · Modeled estimates

Short answer: Fluoxymesterone has a half-life of about 9.5 hours (Halotestin (fluoxymesterone) tablets label) and reaches steady state after about 47.5 hours of regular dosing. We could not confirm a published time to peak for fluoxymesterone, so we do not state one. With the same total per week, Dose Track's model gives a peak-to-trough swing of about 2.12:1 every 0.5 days and about 5.04:1 daily.

The Halotestin label gives 5 to 20 mg daily for testosterone replacement in men, at once or in divided doses. The chart compares 10 mg once daily with 5 mg twice daily.

When does fluoxymesterone peak after a dose?

We could not confirm a published time to peak for fluoxymesterone, so we do not state one. The curve still needs a rise time, so it uses the app's modeling estimate; treat the shape of the first day or two as approximate.

How long does fluoxymesterone take to reach steady state?

With regular dosing at a fixed amount and interval, levels climb toward steady state by the same fraction every half-life, whatever the dose. At a half-life of about 9.5 hours:

How much do fluoxymesterone levels swing between doses?

The longer the gap between doses compared with the half-life, the bigger the swing from peak to trough and the less the levels build up. These ratios do not depend on the amount.

Build-up is the accumulation ratio 1 / (1 − e−k·τ), with k = ln 2 / half-life and τ the interval.

How long does fluoxymesterone stay in your system?

After the last dose, about half is gone every 9.5 hours. After 5 half-lives, about 47.5 hours, roughly 97% has cleared in the model.

Where do these numbers come from?

The Halotestin label says the half-life of fluoxymesterone after a dose by mouth is about 9.2 hours; Dose Track uses 9.5 hours. The label gives no time to peak.

The curve uses the half-life, time to peak, route and bioavailability built into the Dose Track app for fluoxymesterone, and the same one-compartment model with first-order absorption. These are modeled estimates from published half-lives, drawn with the same one-compartment model as the Dose Track app. Real levels vary from person to person, and only a lab test measures them. This is not medical advice and not a dosing recommendation; dosing decisions belong with you and your prescriber.

Frequently asked questions

When does fluoxymesterone peak after a dose?+
We could not confirm a published time to peak for fluoxymesterone, so we do not give one. Individual timing varies with food, the amount and the person.
How long does fluoxymesterone take to reach steady state?+
About 47.5 hours of regular dosing at the same amount and interval, which is 5 half-lives. With a half-life of about 9.5 hours, levels reach about 50% of steady state after 9.5 hours and about 90% after 31.6 hours. Changing the dose or interval starts a new climb toward a new steady state.
Does splitting fluoxymesterone into more frequent doses keep levels steadier?+
In the model, it narrows the swing but not the average. With the same total per week, the peak-to-trough ratio at steady state is about 2.12:1 every 0.5 days, about 5.04:1 daily. Which schedule to use is a decision for you and your prescriber.
How long does fluoxymesterone stay in your system after the last dose?+
Roughly 5 half-lives, about 47.5 hours, until about 97% has cleared in the model. Half is gone about 9.5 hours after levels start falling. Real clearance varies from person to person, and a drug can still have effects after levels are low.
Is this chart my actual fluoxymesterone level?+
No. It is a modeled estimate from a published half-life, using the same one-compartment model as the Dose Track app. Real levels vary with body weight, food, kidney and liver function and other factors, and only a lab test measures them. It is not medical advice.
