Important pertinent information

Due to the very complicated and dubious nature of the legality of clenbuterol in many countries, the only way to stay safe when buying this drug medication is to have it properly subscribed by a doctor.

Once you succeed in buying your medication, you should then take it according to the proper dose prescribed provided for you.

At the same time, you should also be taking appropriate precautions for mitigating the harmful side effects that will appear (not always) depending on your health condition and reaction to drugs.

The right doses for a 2-week cycle

1st Method

  1. A dose of 20 micrograms a day. You should typically begin your cycle with a dose of 20 micrograms daily which is the most common dose that’s normally suitable for the majority of people, especially new beginners who have never used clenbuterol in their life.

If by any chance your drug medication comes to you in tablet, you should opt to take a dose of 20 microgram which is the equivalent of a 1.02 milligram pill.

  • You should discuss your intention to take clenbuterol with your doctor before you actually start taking the drug medication to confirm that this is the correct dose for you.
  • Even though the medication can come in both pill and liquid forms, for convenience sake, a huge majority of those using clenbuterol prefer to take it in its pill form.
  • A daily dose increase by 20 micrograms daily for the first week.

It’s important that you gradually increase your doses as it will allow your body to become familiar to the drug and adapt to it and prevent you from getting its side effects. But if you start to feel sick or experience a high level of discomfort such as heart palpitations, intense body jitters or painful cramps, do not increase your dose. It’s crucial for you to listen to the reactions of your body and avoid taking it to extreme situations.

  • To pursue this point further, your dose for example on the 2nd day of your 2 week cycle should increase to 4 micrograms and the dose on the 3rd day should be 60 micrograms (20 microgram increments each day), and so forth.
  • Throughout your cycle you should maintain constant contact with your doctor so that you can maintain your dose in a safe and healthy situation for your personal bodily health.
  • You should expect to experience some discomfort from side effects for the first 3 – 4 days of your cycle, especially if you increase your doses are indicated earlier. This is a normal occurrence but always remember that you should stop increasing your dose if the side effects persist in making you uncomfortable by the fifth day of your cycle.
  • By the seventh day of your cycle, your dose should reach 140 micrograms and this is where you stop increasing your dose. You must not go beyond this dose amount.
  • If you are a woman or you are relatively light in weight, it would be best if you should not take more than 120 micrograms a day.
  • Decrease your dose by 20 micrograms per day for the second week.

Once you get to the 8th day of your cycle, you should start reducing your dose to 120 micrograms which of course will be 20 micrograms lower than the highest level you’re permitted to take. You should continue reducing your doses until you have reduced it to zero level so that you’ll no longer be taking clenbuterol at the end of your 2nd – week cycle.

  • By slowly reducing your doses in the above manner, you will reduce the risk of adverse side effects and you’ll also and it will also prevent you from becoming too dependent on the drug medication.
  • Avoid going over the 140 micrograms a day amount. Doses which exceed 140 micrograms can increase your risk for you to suffer from health consequences that are either serious or fatal.
  • Women in particular are strongly advised not to exceed the 120 micrograms in a day mark.
  • Don’t take clenbuterol for the next 2 weeks.

Immediately after you reach the end of your 2-week cycle, you should allow your body to have a rest of two weeks off the drug medication so that your body becomes desensitized or less allergic to clenbuterol. Following this period of respite, you may start another clenbuterol cycle if you wish.

You are advised to refrain from using any other fat burning supplements during the 2-weeks of rest.

2nd Method

Decreasing common side effects

  1. Begin with a low dose to prevent jittery or anxious feeling. Getting the “jitters” is the most likely side effect you’ll get from clenbuterol mainly because as you’ve learned already, it’s a powerful stimulant. If, however, you start off with a low dosage and increase the amount of your dose gradually, your body will smoothly adapt itself to the impact of the drug medication over time and will prevent you from getting jittered from taking too much of the medication.
  2. It has been found that a starting dose of 20 micrograms a day is the ideal amount to start with.
  3. You should be comparatively free of any jittery feelings or anxiousness that results from taking clenbuterol
  • Ask your doctor about taking taurine and potassium supplements. A reduction of taurine and potassium that’s naturally produced in the body takes place when you take clenbuterol. This can result in painful muscle cramps in some users. Taurine and potassium supplements can address this condition by sustaining good levels of these nutrients in the body and prevent cramps.
  • Ensure that you consult your doctor before taking any supplements in combination with clenbuterol.
  • Taurine and potassium supplements can be easily purchased at most vitamins and supplements shop.
  • Banana and sweet potatoes are excellent sources of potassium so eating them will help maintain sufficient levels of potassium in your body.
  • Drink 2 litres (68 fl. oz.) of water daily. This practice will keep your body from being dehydrated. Sweating more than usual is another side effect of clenbuterol  in addition to your daily routine workouts and this makes you susceptible to dehydration. Drink water on a regular basis whenever you get thirsty so that you can prevent the negative side effects of dehydration.
  • The side effects that you can get from being dehydrated may include muscle cramps, headaches and tiredness or fatigue.
  • Avoid insomnia (inability to sleep) by taking clenbuterol in the morning. This drug is a stimulant, so taking it in the afternoon or night may prevent you from getting your sleep, but this effect tends to dissipate over time.
  • You should think about using an over-the-counter sleeping aid like melatonin supplement if you experience insomnia from taking clenbuterol. Make sure to consult with your doctor before taking other additional supplements.
  • Have regular checkups.  Over time, a number of heart disorders and illnesses may develop in some people who take clenbuterol. These can include arrhythmia and high blood pressure. Consult with your doctor every week to make sure your heart is in good shape while you’re on clenbuterol.
  • If you experience heart palpitations while taking clenbuterol, you should promptly seek medical attention.
  • Don’t use clenbuterol for longer than 12 weeks. In addition to affecting your heart, clenbuterol can also be addictive as it contains dopamine. Keep using this drug in short cycles that typically don’t exceed 12 weeks in duration so that you won’t build up tolerance to the drug and make it more difficult for you not to crave for it.
  • You should keep your cycles short so as to prevent your body from becoming immune to the drug. If this happens, clenbuterol would no longer be an effective weight-loss supplement.
