Clenbuterol is a substance that has both bronchodilator and decongestant properties, making it useful for treating asthma and other respiratory conditions. It is a beta2-adrenergic agonist, which means it stimulates the beta2-adrenergic receptors in the throat, helping to relax the muscles and lungs and making it easier to breathe. In some countries, clenbuterol is available by prescription for people with asthma or other breathing problems. It is also approved for use in horses with breathing difficulty in the United States.
Clenbuterol is not approved for human use in the United States, but it is prescribed for human use outside of the country. It is not available for humans in the United States, and its use in livestock for food production is also prohibited in the United States, China, and the European Union. However, some countries have approved clenbuterol for therapeutic uses in food-producing animals or for animals not used for food.
In addition to its medical uses, clenbuterol has gained popularity among athletes and bodybuilders for its potential to promote weight loss and increase muscle mass. Although it is not a steroid, clenbuterol has properties similar to anabolic steroids, which may contribute to its effects on muscle growth. People using clenbuterol for weight loss or performance enhancement typically use between 0.06 and 0.12 milligrams per day. However, its use for these purposes is controversial, and it is considered a risky and potentially dangerous medication.
