Clenbuterol is a long-acting β2-adrenergic agonist with bronchodilatory properties, previously used in some countries to treat asthma and other respiratory conditions, but it is not approved for human use in many countries. It is sometimes misused for weight loss or performance enhancement due to its anabolic properties.
Pharmacokinetic parameters reported in healthy adult male volunteers following oral administration.
