| Consult your pharmacist. | Levalbuterol is used to prevent and treat wheezing and shortness of breath caused by breathing problems (such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease). Levalbuterol belongs to a class of drugs known as bronchodilators. It works in the airways by opening breathing passages and relaxing muscles. Controlling symptoms of breathing problems can decrease time lost from work or school. | |||

| Add Albuterol review I think the medicine works. However, my daughter gets hyper sometimes, other times she goes to sleep afterwards. My asthma is worse and the shaking snd dizziness are hard to cope with on top of not being able to breathe. I wouldn't recommend this medicine to my worst enemy. | Add Xopenex review After using the Pro-Air (albuterol) inhaler for years, I was recently prescribed Xopenex after being sick of my heart racing from the albuterol. Xopenex does not work as fast as albuterol (works in minutes as opposed to seconds) but doesn't make my heart race and I have no side affects. On my cigna prescription plan Pro-Air was $40 and Xopenex is $25. It's easy to use but I ended up in the hospital with an asmatha attack because it didn't work at all. | |||
