Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for your query at HealthcareMagic.

Clenbuterol is a bronchodilator. If it is in market then it must be safe. Since every medicine has side effects, it also has some side effects.

Apart from side effects it may also lead to increased muscle mass which may not be liked by females.

A safer medicine for weight loss is orlistat that is to be taken at mealtimes. Can take this medicine under guidance of a doctor.

Hope it helps.
