Albuterol

Well I searched everywhere on the internet to see if I can find info on how long Albuterol stays in the system... nothing. Does anyone know for how long it is detectable in your body?

I dont know if this helps but I had this on my CPU. Funny i was looking at it this morning. I dont know the exact detection time for albut but this is a pretty interesting study . Keep in mind its on the inhaler form , not liquid or pill form.

I will also bump for someone who knows the detection time for you ????????



Detection of inhaled salbutamol in equine urine by ELISA and GC/MS2.Eenoo PV, Delbeke Ft .Doping Control Unit, Department of Pharmacology, Pharmacy and Toxicology, University Ghent, Salisburylaan 133, B-9820 Merelbeke, Belgium.

Salbutamol is a beta-adrenergic agonist that is used in the treatment of asthma in humans and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in horses. Because of its stimulating and growth promoting properties, it is prohibited by horse racing authorities. Recently a number of adapters (eg Equinehaler) have been designed, allowing the use of metered dose inhalers (MDI) approved for human use. However, information on detection times of salbutamol after administration of salbutamol in therapeutic doses by inhalation is lacking. In this study, 2 mg salbutamol (Ventolin) was administered to four standardbred mares via an MDI with an Equinehaler and urine was collected during 48 h. Quantification of salbutamol in horse urine was done via an overnight beta-agonist ELISA kit. Salbutamol was detected between 1 and 48 h post-administration. Relatively large interindividual variations in the total amount excreted during the first 12 h were noticed. The maximum urinary concentrations varied between 4.6 and 8.1 ng/mL. The total amount excreted within the first 12 h varied between 0.2 and 0.7% of the administered dose. For confirmatory analysis in doping control, a GC/MS(2) method was developed and validated. Analysis was performed on an ion trap instrument after solid phase extraction. The limit of detection was 0.25 ng/mL and was lower than in previously reported methods in human urine. .

So only about .2 to .7% is detectable after 12hours?? I need its endurance and muscle properties to help me get back to where I was a week ago. I have been out due to a hand injury for a week and have another week to go. 14 days of no physical activities will kill your conditioning pretty quickly. I need the boost as I have no time because we are in season already, but we do get tested at some point so.... Anyways thanks Merc.

albuterol is perfectly legal. why the concern? i actually have a prescription for an albuterol inhaler for my asthma.

Maybe for sports ?????

You are correct Albut is an FDA approved med, but albut is a banned substance in sports.

Bingo... although it I can't seem to find it on the NCAA list, doesn't mean I want to take the chance -.-
