 Drug Uses / How Clenbuterol Works

Clenbuterol is a widely used bronchodilator in many parts of the world. It is most often prepared in 2Omcg tablets, but Clenbuterol is also available in syrup and injectable form. This drug belongs to a broad group of drugs knows as sympathomimetics. Clenbuterol affect that sympathetic nervous system in a wide number of ways, largely mediated by the distribution of adrenoceptors.

The drug is specifically a selective beta-2 sympathomimetic, primarily affecting only one of the three subsets of beta-receptors. Of particular interest is the fact that Clenbuterol has little beta-i stimulating activity. Since beta-i receptors are closely tied to the cardiac effects of adrenoceptors, this allows to reduce reversible airway obstruction (and effect of beta-2 stimulation) with much less cardiovascular side effects compared to non-selective beta agonists. Clinical studies with Clenbuterol show it is extremely effective as a bronchodilator , with a low level of user complaints and high patient compliance Clenbuterol also exhibits an extremely long half-life in the body, which is measured to be approximately 34 hours long. This makes steady blood levels easy to achieve, requiring only a single or twice daily dosing schedule at most. This of course makes it much easier for the patient to use, and may tie into its high compliance rate.

Clenbuterol is shown to stimulate fat cells to breakdown and form free fat acids, thus increasing your metabolism. It will also increase muscle strength, by allowing more oxygen to be used by cells that need it. Fat brake down process will keep your body temperature slightly over normal (half of a degree or so). These properties make Clenbuterol an excellent choice, if your goal is to reduce your overall body fat.

When using Clenbuterol for fat loss , the primary effect of Clenbuterol, it seems to work well for approximately 4-6 weeks. During this period, users will want to constantly monitor their body temperature. We are assured Clenbuterol is working by the temperature elevation. Once the temperature drops back to normal, this drug is no longer exhibiting a thermogenic effect . At this point increasing the dosage would not be very effective, and a break for at least a few weeks should be taken before it is used again effectively. If one is looking for strength gains, it appears to be effective for a much shorter period of time, around 3-4 weeks. This may be due to an absence of real anabolic effect, with the strength gain seen with Clenbuterol possibly due only to the stimulant properties of the drug (similar to the strength boost seen by Ephedrine users). Again however, this is still debated.

This is an extremely important question as it is very important to control the amount of Clenbuterol you take depending on your response to it. Users should start a cycle by weaning themselves onto the required dosage and then weaning themselves off at the end of a cycle. Please see table below for more details.

When you start taking clenbuterol you will feel the drug working in your body. You will feel your heart rate increase, your blood pressure will rise and you will feel like you body is working harder, which is exactly what clenbuterol is supposed to do. As you get 2-3 days into your cycle you should start feeling the drug working less, this it the point where you add an extra 20 mcg to your daily dosage. You can keep doing this until you reach your maximum dose (see above).

Clenbuterol should be taking once per day, in the morning. Please try to Avoid taking Clenbuterol in the evening as this may cause you to have some sleepless nights. Clenbuterol stays active for approximately 24 hours so you don't need to take more than one dose.

 Clenbuterol Cycle Length

Max 3 weeks on followed by three weeks off.

 Clenbuterol Dosage Guide

Woman: 40 - 80 mcg per day
Men: 60 - 160 mcg per day

 Warnings/Precautions

Its best to start from 20 mcg (0.02mg - [zero point zero two milligrams]) to 40 mcg per day and slowly work your way up increasing the dose every 3 days by 20 mcg, to a maximum of 120-160 mcg (most find 80 mcg to be adequate). Follow your cycles by a 3 week off period.

 Possible Side Effects

The possible side effects of Clenbuterol include those of other CNS stimulants, and include such occurrences as shaky hands, insomnia, sweating, increased blood pressure and nausea. These Clenbuterol side effects will generally subside after a week or so of use however, once the user becomes accustomed to Clenbuterol. One would typically start a Clenbuterol cycle by gradually increasing the dosage each day until a desired range is established. This process will minimize the unwanted side effects seen from Clenbuterol; which otherwise might be dramatic if a large dose of Clenbuterol is administered from the onset. Men generally end up in the range of 2-8 tablets of Clenbuterol per day, although some people do claim to tolerate even higher dosages. Women get by on less, generally 2-4 tablets daily. Very quickly, Clenbuterol will elevate the body temperature . The rise is not usually dramatic, perhaps a half of a degree or so, sometimes a little more. This elevation is due to your body burning excess energy (largely from fat) and is usually not uncomfortable.

All of the side effects listed above are due to the tablets doing their job and it is completely normal to experience these side effects. If you find that the side effects are too much then drop your daily dosage by 20 mcg.

If you experience any of these following side effects, reduce your dosage slightly:

If your side effects are severe then please consult you physician and discontinue use.
