What Is Fluoxybol 5 Mg?

This information is general in nature, not personalised medical advice. Always talk with your GP, specialist or pharmacist before beginning to take any new medicine.

How Fluoxybol 5 Mg Works

Fluoxymesterone is a synthetic version of the male hormone testosterone. It attaches to androgen receptors in tissues like the reproductive organs, bone and muscle. This helps replace the missing hormone, maintaining normal male attributes in men with low testosterone.

The androgens can slow the growth of hormone-sensitive tumours in some women with breast cancer. Your specialist will decide if this treatment will work for your type of cancer.

Uses of Fluoxybol 5 Mg

The main Fluoxybol 5 Mg uses are listed below.

• Treating low testosterone (hypogonadism) in adult men
• Palliative treatment of advanced breast cancer in some postmenopausal women

Palliative treatment eases symptoms and slows disease, but it does not cure cancer.

Dosage and Administration

Your doctor sets the Fluoxybol 5 Mg dosage based on your condition, age, blood tests, and response to treatment. Always follow the directions on your pharmacy label and the Consumer Medicine Information, if one is supplied. Swallow Fluoxymesterone 5 Mg tablets with water. Do not change the amount or timing yourself.

Regular check-ups, including liver function tests and blood counts, help your doctor monitor treatment. Women being treated for breast cancer may also need calcium level checks.

Important Safety Precautions

Discuss a complete medical history with your doctor before treatment. Men who have prostate or breast cancer should not take this medicine. Be extra careful if you suffer from liver disease, kidney disease, or heart disease.

Do not use if pregnant or hoping to become pregnant, as androgens may damage an unborn baby. It’s important for men who are trying to conceive to be aware of this because it can decrease sperm production. Never give any other person this medicine. In Australia, anabolic steroids are prescription-only medicines, and it is not safe to use them without medical supervision. Fluoxymesterone may not be registered on the Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods (ARTG), so your doctor may need to access it through the TGA’s Special Access Scheme.
