Keyword(s):
ABSTRACT The effect of fluoxymesterone (Halotestin) on body weight and body height has been studied in 13 children with growth retardation and underweight. It was found that fluoxymesterone administered for periods of 3 months in a dose of 0.1 to 0.15 mg per kg body weight per day had a beneficial effect on body weight and linear growth rate. A daily dose greater than 0.25 mg/kg body weight had virilizing effects.
