Description

Clenbuterol 40 mcg. 100 tablets

Composition

The product is a pack of 100 tablets, each containing 40 micrograms (mcg) of the active ingredient, Clenbuterol. Clenbuterol is a sympathomimetic amine used by sufferers of breathing disorders as a decongestant and bronchodilator. Other inactive ingredients include microcrystalline cellulose, magnesium stearate, and dicalcium phosphate.

Description

Clenbuterol is a medication primarily used in the treatment of respiratory conditions such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder (COPD), asthma, and other related conditions. It aids in clearing the airway, thereby making breathing easier for the patients. It can also be used in veterinary medicine. Clenbuterol is not an ingredient of any therapeutic drug approved by the U.S. FDA but it is used in some countries in a limited manner in animals to relax airways.

Pharmacological Action

Clenbuterol is a bronchodilator and a decongestant. As a sympathomimetic amine, it acts on the sympathetic nervous system, primarily the beta-2 receptors, to relax and dilate the bronchial muscles. This action helps in clearing the respiratory tract and allows easier breathing. In addition, it has a slight stimulating and thermogenic effect, helping the body to produce and release more energy, and thereby increasing the body’s basal metabolic rate.

Indications

Clenbuterol is primarily indicated for the treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), asthma, and other respiratory conditions where bronchodilation is required. It may also be used off-label for weight loss or performance enhancement, although such use is generally not recommended due to potential side effects.

Contraindications

Clenbuterol is contraindicated in patients with a known hypersensitivity to the drug or its constituents. It should also be avoided in patients with tachycardia, tachyarrhythmia, heart disease, and in those undergoing treatment with monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs).

Dosage and Administration

The dosage of Clenbuterol should be determined by a healthcare provider and is typically based on the patient’s medical condition and response to therapy. It is generally advised to start with a lower dose and gradually increase it as the body gets used to the medication. The tablets should be taken orally with a glass of water.

Side Effects

Common side effects of Clenbuterol include headaches, nervousness, shaking hands, nausea, and palpitations. More severe side effects can include high blood pressure, increased heart rate, and in rare cases, myocardial infarction. If any of these side effects persist or worsen, patients should immediately consult their healthcare provider.

Precautions

Patients should inform their healthcare provider of any existing health conditions such as heart disease, high blood pressure, or diabetes before starting treatment with Clenbuterol. Regular monitoring of heart rate and blood pressure may be required for patients undergoing long-term treatment with this medication. Additionally, the use of Clenbuterol should be discontinued immediately if severe cardiovascular side effects or hypersensitivity reactions occur.

Interactions

Clenbuterol may interact with other medications, including beta-blockers, cardiac glycosides, and MAOIs. Therefore, prior to starting treatment, patients should inform their healthcare provider of all the medications, supplements, and herbal products they are currently taking.

Storage

Clenbuterol tablets should be stored in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and out of reach of children. The optimal storage temperature for Clenbuterol is between 20°C to 25°C.

Overdose

In case of suspected overdose, immediate medical attention is required. Symptoms of overdose may include rapid breathing, irregular heartbeat, chest pain, nervousness, tremors, and potentially seizures. In such cases, the patient should be taken to the emergency department immediately.
