Clenbuterol cycle
The cycle of taking Clenbuterol tablets should be no more than 1.5 months (6 weeks). After 14 days, receptor downregulation occurs. This means that the effectiveness of the drug is significantly reduced. This can be avoided by the concomitant use of ketotifen. Its daily dosage ranges from 1 to 2 micrograms. This drug not only prevents the decrease in the effectiveness of Clenbuterol, but also makes it easy to postpone the first days of the cycle when side effects appear.
Clenbuterol begins to be taken with small doses, increasing the daily rate by 20 micrograms, reaching the optimum. The increase in dosage is carried out in the first six days of the cycle:
- 20 mcg on the first day;
- 40 mcg on the second day;
- 60 mcg on the third day;
- 80 mcg on the fourth day;
- 100 mcg on the fifth day;
- 120 mcg on the sixth day.
Reach maximum dosage is optional. You can stay at 80 micrograms. Need to focus on your personal feelings.
