Pharmacological category:
Long-Acting Beta 2 Adrenergic Receptor Agonist
Mechanism of medicine action:
Clenbuterol is an agonist for the beta-2 adrenergic receptor, a member of the 7-transmembrane receptor superfamily that stimulates adenylate cyclase, resulting in smooth bronchial muscular relaxation and a reduction in airway blockage. The anabolic and lipolytic characteristics of clenbuterol are assumed to be due to its stimulation of beta-2 adrenergic receptors in skeletal muscle and adipose tissue, respectively.
Clenbuterol’s effects on skeletal muscle include the ability to promote growth, reduce breakdown, and speed up strength recovery after injury. When a caloric deficit of 50% is employed for a lengthy period of time, the muscle preservation effects are also retained.
Side effects:
When Clenbuterol is overused or misused, it might have significant side effects. These can include the following: increased heart rate, rapid breathing, heart palpitations, chest pain, tremors, anxiety, electrolyte imbalance, insomnia, headache, nausea, and vomiting.
Dosage:
Starting with a dose of 20 mcg of clenbuterol is recommended. After tolerance has been established, higher doses can be used, although due to the drug’s potency, caution is advised with higher doses. There should never be more than 120 mcg consumed per day.
Most clenbuterol should be taken in the morning to allow for some metabolism before going to bed (although it will still be disturbed).
