Ephedrine has been largely banned, and the ephedrine/caffeine/aspirin "ECA stack" was very popular with weightlifters. Apparently albuterol is available in pill form.
"Both caffeine and albuterol enhanced lipolysis in cultured adipocytes. Acute treatment of humans with caffeine and/or albuterol increased resting metabolic rate. Longer-term studies of rats revealed a trend for increased metabolic rate with albuterol treatment. There was increased lean mass gain concurrent with decreased fat mass gain with caffeine/albuterol treatment that was greater than albuterol treatment alone."

The effect of caffeine and albuterol on body composition and metabolic rate
Caffeine and ephedrine was an effective combination therapy for weight loss until ephedrine was removed from the market due to safety concerns. We investigated the combination of caffeine and albuterol as a possibly safer alternative to ephedrine.In a ...
