Clenbuterol Short-term Side-effects
The short-term side-effects of clenbuterol in humans have largely been determined through accidental overdoses from eating clenbuterol-tainted meat. Short-term side-effects include the following:
Muscle crams
Hypertension (increased blood pressure)
Increased heart rate
Palpitations
Insomnia
Dry mouth
Vomiting
Tremors (shakiness especially marked in hands)
Anxiety
Nervousness/ restlessness
Headaches
Breathing difficulties
Sweating
Most of the above side-effects diminish when clenbuterol has been expelled from the body. However, the long-term effects of clenbuterol in humans are less well understood.
There are no human drug safety tests and information is obtained from incidents such as those in Spain in 1994, when 140 people were reportedly hospitalized and in China in September 2006 in which 330 people were poisoned due to eating meat that had been contaminated with clenbuterol. Information is also gained from isolated case studies of those using clenbuterol for its weight loss effects.
