Clenproperol is primarily used in veterinary medicine as a bronchodilator to treat respiratory conditions in animals, particularly horses. It helps to relax the muscles in the airways, improving airflow and easing breathing difficulties associated with conditions like asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Additionally, due to its beta-agonist properties, it has been explored for its potential to promote lean muscle growth and fat reduction in livestock, though its use for this purpose is highly regulated and subject to legal restrictions in many regions. Misuse of clenproperol, especially in food-producing animals, is a concern due to potential health risks for consumers, leading to strict controls and monitoring in agricultural practices.
