Dr. Liu Zhengxin
Clenbuterol is a banned additive that poses significant health risks to humans. Once absorbed by the human body, it can cause poisoning symptoms—including nausea, dizziness, headache, tachycardia, and even sudden cardiac death. In patients with hypertension or coronary heart disease, clenbuterol may exacerbate their underlying conditions. Prolonged use may also lead to drug resistance, metabolic disturbances, hypokalemia, and acidosis.
