Fluoxymesterone vs Methasterone

Both are anabolic steroid compounds. Here's how they line up on the evidence — graded the same way.

ClassAnabolic steroidAnabolic steroid
SummaryFluoxymesterone is an oral 17α-alkylated anabolic-androgenic steroid (not a peptide), once FDA-approved for hypogonadism and breast-cancer palliation but now largely obsolete. Its strongest, best-documented human data concern liver injury rather than benefit, and non-medical use is illegal and banned in sport.Methasterone is an oral 17α-alkylated anabolic-androgenic steroid (a 17α-methyl version of drostanolone), never an approved medicine; its only robust human evidence is harm — severe cholestatic liver injury — not efficacy.
