Albuterol sulfate is a selective beta-2 adrenergic agonist,
very similar in structure and action to clenbuterol. Unlike
clenbuterol, however, albuterol is readily available as a
prescription drug in the United States. It is also sold as
salbutamol in a number of other countries, which is another
generic name for the drug. Albuterol is most commonly found
in the form of a rescue inhaler, which is designed to disperse
a measured amount of the drug immediately and directly to
the bronchial tubes in times of crisis (asthma attack). This
form provides the least amount of systemic drug activity
possible, which is great for minimizing unwanted
cardiovascular side effects. Albuterol oral tablets are also
available, however, and provide a systemic dose of the drug.
These are the subject of interest in the bodybuilding and
athletic communities, and they can provide significant beta-2
stimulation and measurable fat loss throughout the body given
the right conditions. Note that a more comprehensive
discussion of the benefits, activities, and side effects of beta-
2 agonist drugs can be found under the clenbuterol drug
profile.
History:
Albuterol sulfate was introduced to the U.S. drug market in
1980, sold under the Ventolin brand name. Albuterol sulfate
has grown to be one of the most popular drugs in history for
the management of acute asthma attacks. As a result, many
other companies have invested in the market. The Ventrolin
brand name is still available in the U.S., however, the FDA
has also approved a variety of other generic and brand name
forms of the drug. Albuterol sulfate is also presently sold in
both inhalation and oral preparations in most developed
countries. Popular trade names include Aerolin, Airomir,
Asmasal, Asthalin, Asthavent, Asmol, Butahale, Buventol,
ProAir, Proventil, Salamol, Sultanol, and Volmax.
How Supplied:
Albuterol sulfate is most commonly supplied in oral metered
dose inhalers and tablets of 2 mg, 4 mg, or 8 mg each.
Structural Characteristics:
Albuterol sulfate (salbutamol sulphate) is a short-acting‚ 2-
adrenergic receptor agonist. It is a racemic drug with the
chemical designation (±) a1-[(tert-butylamino)methyl]-4-
hydroxy-m-xylene-a,a1-diol sulfate (2:1)(salt).
Side Effects:
Common side effects associated with albuterol sulfate
include headache, dizziness, lightheadedness, insomnia,
tremor, nervousness, sweating, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea,
and dry mouth. Less common but more serious adverse
events include allergic reactions (rash, hives, swelling of the
lips, tongue, or face, or difficulty breathing), chest pain, high
blood pressure, and irregular heartbeat. Albuterol sulfate is a
CNS stimulant with potential for fatal overdose. Signs of
overdose may include rapid breathing, blood pressure
irregularities, irregular heartbeat, unconsciousness,
trembling, shaking, panic, extreme restlessness, and severe
nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea.
Administration:
The usual starting dosage for adults and children 12 years
and older for the management of asthma is 2-4 mg three or
four times per day. When used (off-label) for fat loss, an
effective dose of albuterol usually starts in the range of one
to two 4 mg tablets per day (1 tablet X 1-2 applications).
This is often increased slightly as the user becomes
accustomed to the drug, perhaps to 4 mg three to four times
per day. Individuals very sensitive to the stimulant side
effects of beta agonists usually start with the lower-dose 2
mg tablets first. The administration intervals are spread out
as evenly as possible, so as to prevent overlap and sustain
active concentrations in the blood for as much of the day as
possible. Athletes and bodybuilders will often use their body
temperature as a marker of drug efficacy. A degree or two
elevation in temperature with use of the drug may indicate
that lipolysis (the removal of stored fatty acids in adipose
tissue) is being effectively stimulated.
As is noted with all beta agonists, tolerance to the
thermogenic benefits of this drug tends to develop quickly.
This is usually noticed by the body temperature returning to
normal pretreated levels. Due to the potential side effects of
these drugs, it is not advised to continually increase the
dosage in order to chase down a diminishing effect. Instead,
the user will usually opt to discontinue the drug for some
time (4 weeks or longer) to let the body restore its normal
beta-adrenergic receptor concentrations. More recently, the
antihistamine Zaditen (ketotifen) has become popular, which
is a potent upregulator of beta-adrenergic receptors,
especially beta-2 receptors. This medication may enhance
the thermogenic potency of this beta agonist, but might also
increase drug potency and the incidence of side effects.
Availability:
Albuterol is a widely available and very cheap medicine.
Counterfeiting is not a strong concern with this medication.

I began dosing Albuterol at 4mg and then ramped up to 12mg 2x per day pre WO and 4hrs later carbless post wo to try to shed some bf(15 down to goal of 10%) anyway my question is, what should it feel like? I am wondering if this is bunk stuff because I don't get the stimulant effect I was expecting. I mean should this feel like 400mg of caffeine? I thought my body temp went up but im not sure. I ran it for a week and discontinued use because there was little effect on alertness and motivation to exercise.
