Why Clenbuterol Is Often Mistaken for a Steroid
Clenbuterol is a noteworthy compound, often misunderstood as a steroid. In reality, it is a beta-2-sympathomimetic, not a steroid hormone. While primarily prescribed for breathing issues, clenbuterol is used as a decongestant and bronchodilator, particularly for individuals with chronic asthma, making inhalation easier. Typically, it is available as clenbuterol hydrochloride. Its misuse in sports has led to the common misconception that it is a steroid.
Clenbuterol shares similarities with ephedrine but is more potent and longer-lasting as a stimulant and thermogenic drug. It stimulates the central nervous system, enhances aerobic capacity, and increases blood pressure and oxygen transportation. Clenbuterol aids in the metabolism of fat and protein while slowing glycogen storage. Its muscle relaxant properties make it an effective bronchodilator and tocolytic.
Additionally, clenbuterol is used to treat allergic respiratory infections in horses, marketed under the brand name Ventipulmin, available in oral or injection forms. Its ability to promote weight gain and increase muscle-to-fat ratio has resulted in illegal use in livestock.
Side effects of clenbuterol can include nervousness, tremors, hand shaking, irritability, excessive sweating, sleep disturbances, potential muscle cramps, increased blood pressure, and nausea. These effects are typically temporary and often subside after 8-10 days, even with continued use.
Athletes sometimes use clenbuterol post-steroid treatment to balance the catabolic stage, aiming for peak strength and muscle mass. One of clenbuterol's unique effects is its fat-burning capability. It raises body temperature slightly, forcing the body to burn fat, which can enhance the impact of anabolic/androgenic steroids when used concurrently.
Athletes, runners, and bodybuilders typically consume 100-140 mcg of clenbuterol daily. Women generally take 80-100 mcg per day, starting with a single tablet and gradually increasing until the desired dosage is reached. Clenbuterol is often used for cycles of 8-10 weeks. Women favor it because it is not a hormone-based compound and lacks the side effects typical of anabolic steroids.
