Clenbuterol, marketed as Spiropent and Ventipulmin, is a sympathomimetic amine

used by sufferers of breathing disorders as a decongestant and bronchodilator.

People with chronic breathing disorders such as asthma use this as a

bronchodilator to make breathing easier. It is most commonly available as the

hydrochloride salt, clenbuterol hydrochloride.

Clenbuterol is a β2 agonist with some structural and pharmacological

similarities to epinephrine and salbutamol, but its effects are more potent and

longer-lasting as a stimulant and thermogenic drug. It causes an increase in

aerobic capacity, central nervous system stimulation, and an increase in blood

pressure and oxygen transportation. It increases the rate at which body fat is

metabolized while increasing the body's BMR.[1]It is commonly used for smooth

muscle relaxant properties. This means that it is a bronchodilator and

tocolytic.

Clenbuterol is also prescribed for treatment of horses; however, equine use is

usually the liquid form of clenbuterol.

Why is this article being proposed to Supertraining? It is shallower than

what has already been shared on this subject one year ago, and it does not

discuss details that are important to understand this issue, such as the

plasticizers etc.

[Feel free to provide a link to the prior discussion or add your own comments re

plastcizers - it seems you haven't contributed much more than Jim's post, maybe

less as yours also lacked a sense of humour ;-) DD]
