Why isn't Formoterol more known?

[lucifer92]

I was reading about a formoterol study (i cant post link yet i think) and there is a part where it says:

"One week of formoterol treatment increased metabolism in the men by more than 10 percent, according to an estimate of the resting energy expenditure (the calories needed at rest during 24 hours). The rate of fat oxidation, or burning, rose by almost 25 percent"

So why arent we seeing more for this?

Isint that for asthma

 

[booneman77]

probably because its an Rx drug and designed for COPD and asthma, not fat burning... As well it is advised against any long-term usage...

That's what I thought it was.

isn't it a long-acting beta 2 agonist like clenbuterol and albuterol?
