G6PD deficiency with Clen

[ZigZag]

I bought a Clenbuterol (200 tablets). I was about to start my 1st cycle (of roids ever) then I almost forget that I have G6PD deficiency.

Is it advisable to take Clen while having G6PD deficiency? I tried looking around for answers but failed..

Please advise.

Good question.

There isn't a lot of information on it.

I'd ask a doctor, but even they may not know.

I wouldn't also believe the response you got at the other forum you started this thread on. They steal and copy/paste our content all the time.

See my response in my pinned thread you posted in.

I guarantee you will find NO doctors who will have an answer for you on this. You'll get a blank stare, and then they will give you the answer that covers their ass as best as possible: "don't do it".

I couldn't find much, so I outlined guidelines for you that would make things as safe as possible considering what I already know about G6PD deficiency and how it may interact with stims such as Clenbuterol. Unfortunately, I couldn't come up with much for you since this is one of those very rare, very un-documented cases.

Yea you are right. The answer on the other forum looks pretty fishy especially when he's so sure of his answer without giving citation. Found out he just copied and pasted the side effects of absorbic acid. Lol. -_-

Thank you for your response Dan. I'll reply here.

Hey ZigZag,

You are correct, there is very scarce information on the interactions that Clenbuterol may have with G6PD deficiency. As you are probably aware, G6PD deficiency is a genetic disorder that causes problems with hemoglobin and red blood cell life cycle, production, and excretion. As far as I know, Clenbuterol should not interfere with any pathways involved in hemoglobin or red blood cell production (not directly, at least). But because I couldn't find much of anything on the issue, I would advise you to proceed with caution. If you are going to do it, start with low dosages, and monitor yourself very closely. Bloodwork would be a must. How badly is your G6PD deficiency affecting you as it is? I would think that a G6PD deficiency would present more of an issue with something like AAS use though, rather than stimulants. How are you with things like Caffeine, or Ephedrine? Have you used either of those substances before?

G6PD deficiency seems to cause issues with the kidneys as it is, so keep that in mind while using anything else. Clenbuterol is not known to cause any kidney problems in the majority of users, but remember that you do have a medical indication that does not make you a normal healthy individual, so the playing field will be different for you. I can't say whether or not you will be safe doing this. There are a lot of things to consider. If you are very worried or very unsure, it might be best to seek advice from a qualified physician, though I do understand that you will probably get a blank stare from nearly all doctors you approach with this question. I wish I could say I know the answer for you, but I unfortunately do not. I will say, however, I probably know more than most physicians when it comes to this matter, but because G6PD deficiency plus Clenbuterol is a giant hazy area for me as it is, I can't say I know that much more. You'll be venturing into the unknown here, so take it slow, and do it as diligently as possible. Keep us updated on here as well. And if anything alarming does come up, listen to your body and get professional medical help as soon as possible.

As far as I can remember, my G6PD deficiency doesn't affect much in my life except when I was young.. Back then when I was young like 11/12 years old, I couldnt drink tea that much. It weakens me and make me feel dizzy. Eating fava beans (broad beans) gives the same effect too. I was on asthma medication (inhalers) too. Though my asthma is not a serious one. Got rid of it within a year.

Right now, I'm 24, drinking tea (and protein) everyday and does not feel dizzy at all. Never try eating fava beans tho. And there was never once an issue with my kidneys as well.

Caffeine, does that include drinking coffee and taking fat burners? If yes, never had a problem taking them. They work as intended (except coffee doesn't really make me stay awake, could sleep with it haha). And no, never had any substances like that before.

I dont think I could find a doctor to consult with.. It's pretty strict in my country. ;(

Yes, I think I'll go with low-dosage. Is this fine? 2 weeks on and 2 weeks off

1st cycle
Day1: 20mcg
Day2: 20mcg
Day3: 40mcg
Day4: 40mcg
Day5: 60mcg
Day6-Day12: 80mcg
Day13: 80mcg
Day14: 60mcg
Day15: off
Day16: off

2nd cycle
Day1: 40mcg
Day2: 40mcg
Day3: 60mcg
Day4: 60mcg
Day5: 80mcg
Day6-Day12: 100mcg
Day13: 100mcg
Day14: 80mcg
Day15: off
Day16: off


Or can you recommend me a better one?

You mentioned you have asthma and were put on asthma inhalers? Which country do you live in?

I ask because guess what the active ingredient in asthma inhalers is outside of North America? Clenbuterol. Within North America, the close brother of Clenbuterol is used - Albuterol. Both are very similar (Albuterol has a shorter half-life). Though the dosage of Clenbuterol/Albuterol in asthma inhalers is very small compared to the oral delivery route, I think you should be fine if you have indeed used inhalers before. Just proceed with caution, as always.

Yes. 2 inhalers but I couldnt remember the purpose for having both. All i know it has a blue and brown label on them. Im from Malaysia.

Yes, I will take it cautiously.
