Profile (History, Chemical Structure, Characteristics)
History
Clenbuterol Hydrochloride has been used as a bronchodilator for decades. Although the drug has a good safety records and is approved for use in many other countries, this combination has never been available for human use in the United States. The fact that there are a number of asthma drugs similar in effectiveness available and already approved by the FDA, large companies will most likely not find this product profitable enough to authorize the costs associated with the drug approval process anytime soon.

Dosages and Uses
Dosage: 120-140 mcg per day
Dosage frequency: every day

Clenbuterol Cycles (Courses)
- day 1: 20 mcg (0,02mg)
- day 2: 40 mcg (0,04mg)
- day 3: 60 mcg (0,06mg)
- day 4: 80 mcg (0,08mg)
- day 5: 100 mcg (0,10mg)
- day 6-12: 120 mcg (0,12mg)
- day 13: 80 mcg (0,08mg)
- day 14: 40 mcg (0,04mg)
- break

Combined Clenbuterol Cycles
Ketotifen - is antiallergic agent, with the unique ability to restore the sensitivity of the beta-2 adreno-receptors to Clenbuterol. This effect has been repeatedly proven during the studies. Ketotifen can accelerate the process of weight loss in 10-20 percent and prolong the course up to 8 weeks. In addition, Ketotifen helps to eliminate mental stimulation, limbs tremor, insomnia, and palpitations.
- day 1: 20 mcg of Clenbuterol
- day 2: 40 mcg of Clenbuterol
- day 3: 60 mcg of Clenbuterol
- day 4: 80 mcg of Clenbuterol
- day 5: 100 mcg of Clenbuterol + 1 mg of Ketotifen
- day 6-27: 120 mcg of Clenbuterol + 2 mg of Ketotifen
- day 28: 80 mcg of Clenbuterol + 2 mg of Ketotifen
- day 29: 50 mcg of Clenbuterol + 1-2 mg of Ketotifen
- day 30: 33-35 mcg of Clenbuterol + 1 mg of Ketotifen
- at least two weeks break
Ketotifen is taken at night, Clenbuterol – in the morning. Dose dividing is the same as in the previous example.
Combination: Clenbuterol is combined with thyroxine to maximize the effectiveness of the course. However, the risk of side effects increases in this case.
