Description
Clenbuterol (4-amino-alpha-[(tert-butylamino) methyl]-3, 5-dichlorobenzyl alcohol hydrochloride) is a beta-2-adrenergic agonist which provides bronchodilating properties as well as other effects, with minimum effect on the cardiovascular system. It is provided as a colorless, palatable syrup. Ventipulmin Syrup (clenbuterol hydrochloride) is antagonized by beta-adrenergic blocking agents.
Ventipulmin Syrup Indications

Ventipulmin Syrup antagonizes the effects of prostaglandin F2 alpha and oxytocin. Ventipulmin Syrup should not be used in pregnant mares near term. Because tachycardia may occur, Ventipulmin Syrup should not be used in horses suspected of having cardiovascular impairment.
Warning

Treatment starting with dosages higher than the initial dose is not recommended.Human Warnings: Not for human use. Do not use in horses intended for human consumption. Keep out of the reach of children. In case of accidental ingestion, contact a physician immediately. Ingestion of Ventipulmin Syrup may cause undesirable reactions. Clenbuterol, like other beta adrenergic agonists, can produce significant cardiovascular effects in some people as evidenced by elevated pulse rate, blood pressure changes and/or ECG changes.
