Clenbuterol, which is a trusted name in the world of medicines as a bronchodilator, has also many other uses. Also known as Clen or Liquiclen, Clenbuterol belongs to the category of drugs known as sympathomimetics (specifically a selective beta-2 sympathomimetic) and is available in many forms such as tablets, capsules, syrups, and injections.

Clen is highly admired for its unique ability to minimize reversible airway obstruction and fewer cardiovascular side effects when compared to the nonselective beta agonists. Clenbuterol has an active life of approximately 68 hours and facilitates steady blood levels and requires only a single or twice daily dosing schedule. Clenbuterol is admired by bodybuilders and strength athletes as it promotes the loss of body fat while imparting strength and muscle mass gains.
