Xopenex is an inhaler containing a bronchodilator called levalbuterol. We carry the generic alternative to Xopenex in 50mcg/dose!

The levalbuterol inhaler is used to prevent and treat symptoms of shortness of breath and wheezing caused by conditions that affect breathing, such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. This medication is short-acting, which means it is a quick relief method for an acute asthma attack or an acute exacerbation.  During these “episodes”, the airways become inflamed and swollen due to the muscles around the airway contracting and extra mucus production resulting in narrow bronchial tubes.

Xopenex (levalbuterol) is effective at treating wheezing and shortness of breath in asthma and COPD patients because this bronchodilator is able to relax the muscles in the airway to allow easier breathing and reduced symptoms.

Always follow directions given to you by your doctor; instructions can usually also be found on the prescription or prescription bottle/container.

If it is a child using this medication; ensure the child is being supervised throughout the duration of treatment.
