Cloxotestosterone acetate (INN; brand name Caprosem), also known as testosterone 17β-chloral hemiacetal O-acetate, as well as 17β-(1-(acetyloxy)-2,2,2-trichloroethoxy)androst-4-en-3-one, is a synthetic, injected anabolic-androgenic steroid (AAS) and an androgen ether and ester – specifically, the O-acetate ester of cloxotestosterone, the 17β-chloro hemiacetal ether of testosterone. It is administered via intramuscular injection as a 100 mg, 2 mL aqueous suspension and lasts 4 to 6 weeks with a single administration. The drug was first marketed in the early 1960s.
