DESCRIPTION

Clenbuterol is a beta-2 adrenergic agonist primarily used as a bronchodilator for the treatment of asthma and other respiratory conditions. While it is not approved for human use in the United States, it is available in some countries for treating asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Clenbuterol is also popular in bodybuilding and weight loss circles due to its ability to promote fat loss and muscle retention.

• Distribution: Widely distributed in body tissues.
• Metabolism: Primarily metabolized in the liver.
• Half-life: Approximately 25 to 39 hours, allowing for prolonged effects.
• Excretion: Eliminated mainly through urine.
