MOA for Clenbuterol's Diuretic Effect

[swim15]

Tried to find some info on this but didn't turn up a whole lot of useful info.

Does anyone know the moa for diuresis caused by clenbuterol?

I've tried a number of different drugs to help regulate water retention when not just getting ready for a shoot/show and clenbuterol is the only thing that takes an insane amount of water off my body in a very short period of time. Was curious if that effect could be replicated any other way

If clen works, why not just use that?

Good Q!

For me as well, makes me look hard and dry even at 20mcgs ed, but no idea of the ma.

Found this on the interwebs

Because Clenbuterol is a sympathomimetic amine and is classified as a stimulant closely related to other stimulants in the same family (such as Caffeine, Ephedrine, Adrenaline, etc.), a portion of the weight loss experienced from Clenbuterol can in fact be the result of water loss through a slight diuretic effect.

The similarities would be like that of a Loop diuretic.

Ah very interesting, thank you much! Do you have any sources that go into any kind of detail? Would like to read up on it so I have a better understanding if I can but haven't found anything so far. If not I'll take your word for it
