Common use

Astralean (Clenbuterol) is a bronchodilator and decongestant used by people who suffer from breathing difficulties such as asthma. Clenbuterol is often used as a performance-enhancing drug in sports and as a weight-loos or "cutting" drug in bodybuilding. Clenbuterol is pharmacologically similar to epinephrine and causes and increased aerobic capacity, increased stimulation of the central nervous system, and increased oxygen transportation.

Dosage and direction

When people use it to open the airways in those with asthma, the recommended dose is 0.02–0.03 milligrams daily.
The dosage can vary depending on factors that include gender and tolerance. People can take it orally or via injection, but both methods carry risks. Injections can cause scarring or air bubbles to form in the blood, while oral tablets can affect the liver.
Athletes and bodybuilders taking clenbuterol will often work on a program cycle that includes on and off periods.
