Pharmacological category:
Long-acting beta-2 adrenergic receptor agonist
Mechanism of action of the drug:
Clenbuterol is a beta-2 adrenergic receptor agonist, a member of the seven-domain transmembrane receptor superfamily that stimulates adenylate cyclase, resulting in relaxation of bronchial smooth muscle and reduction of airway obstruction. The anabolic and lipolytic characteristics of clenbuterol are presumed to be due to its stimulation of beta-2 adrenergic receptors in skeletal muscle and adipose tissue, respectively.
The effects of clenbuterol on skeletal muscle include the ability to promote growth, reduce muscle breakdown, and accelerate strength recovery after injury. When a 50% caloric deficit is employed for an extended period, the muscle-sparing effects are also maintained.
Side effects:
Excessive or inappropriate use of Clenbuterol can cause significant side effects. These may include: increased heart rate, rapid breathing, palpitations, chest pain, tremors, anxiety, electrolyte imbalance, insomnia, headache, nausea, and vomiting.
Dosage:
It is recommended to start with a dose of 20 mcg of clenbuterol. After tolerance develops, higher doses can be used, although, due to the potency of the drug, caution is advised with higher doses. Never consume more than 120 mcg per day.
Most clenbuterol should be taken in the morning to allow it to be metabolized before bedtime (although it will still be affected).
