Abstract
The present invention relates to therapeutic uses of clenbuterol in humans and animals. The uses include retarding or reversing muscular atrophy of denervated muscle, alleviating or reversing loss of function arising from surgical or accidental muscular trauma, and alleviating or reversing the loss of muscle function arising from a humorally mediated catabolic state or from temporary disuse of the muscle. Clenbuterol can be mixed with a beta-adrenergic antagonist to obviate or mitigate unwanted side effects without excessively inhibiting the desired therapeutic effects.
