Serum concentration from a single dose
single 100 mg dose over 9.6 hours, vertical lines mark each half-life elapsed since the peak
What the numbers mean
A 2 hour half-life produces a very narrow window on the plot, which is why it is normally modelled as a same-day, short-duration entry. Bioavailability of about 57% is applied to each milligram.
The active fraction is the share of each milligram the model treats as reaching circulation as active compound. For an injectable that is ester weight: a milligram of enanthate is not a milligram of testosterone. For an oral it is bioavailability, the share that survives the gut and the liver, which is why some orals sit far below 100%. How the model works.
Where these numbers come from
The half-life and the peak concentration are both read from a published reference. Read it on PubMed.
Common questions about Halotestin
What is the half-life of Halotestin?
The model uses a terminal half-life of 2 hours for Halotestin. For an injectable that figure is the rate the oil depot releases the compound rather than the rate the body clears it, which is why it runs longer than the half-life of the ester itself.
How long does Halotestin take to reach steady state?
Roughly 9.6 hours, on a schedule that does not change. Steady state is conventionally taken as five half-lives, the point at which each dose is clearing about as fast as the next one arrives, and at a half-life of 2 hours that puts Halotestin at 9.6 hours of climbing before the curve flattens.
How long does Halotestin stay in your system?
About 12 hours after the last dose for the serum level to fall to a few percent of where it was, on the same five-and-a-half half-life reasoning. That is the modelled blood level only. It is not a detection window: metabolites are found by testing long after the parent compound has gone, and this model says nothing about that.
