This stuff is clenbuterol’s shorter acting brother. Essentially, it has all of the effects
of clenbuterol, but actually may be better for athletes. See, where Clen has a very
long lasting effect in the body, Albuterol actually has a comparatively short active
and half-life. Since we know that we can expect all of the fun fat-burning effects Clen
has, when using Albuterol, let’s take a look at some of the more interesting effects
it’s had on strength.
In one study, subjects performed 9 wk of isokinetic knee extensions twice weekly.
Albuterol was given to one group, and placebo to the other, for 6 wks; groups
received 16 mg.d-1 of either treatment, they were strength trained, and the results
recorded. Anyway, making a long story short, the Albuterol group at both midtesting
and post-testing had higher scores than the non-Albuterol group. These results give
clear indications that even therapeutic doses of Albuterol administered with
resistance exercise may augment strength gains above and beyond those
experienced without Albuterol (2).
Anecdotally, clenbuterol and ephedrine have both shown themselves capable of
temporarily increasing strength, and I would bet most beta-agonists have this effect,
but I don’t think has been shown as conclusively as it has been with Albuterol.
There’ve also been more than a few complaints of Clen causing athletes to lose their
wind, especially those whose sports require a higher Vo2 max than most. Albuterol,
perhaps due to its short half-life, may not have this deleterious effect (1) and
therefore may actually be a more effective choice for athletes, though not
bodybuilders, who can benefit from Clen’s long-lasting lipolytic effect.

Tell your Dr. you have been diagnosed with "Exercised Induced Asthma". They'll recommend the inhaler, but tell them you've already tried that and it didn't work. Mention the 4mg tabs, and tell them that's worked for you in the past. Insurance covers mine.
