What is Xopenex Hfa
SalbutamolThe Generic name of this drug
Treatment SummaryLevosalbutamol, also known as levalbuterol, is an inhalable medication used to treat asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). It is a short-acting form of salbutamol, which is a racemic mixture of two forms of the same drug. Levosalbutamol is an enantiomerically pure formulation of the active (R)-form of salbutamol, which has been found to have fewer side effects than the (S)-form.

Effectiveness
How Xopenex Hfa Affects PatientsThis drug helps to open up the airways in the lungs, making it easier to breathe and relieving shortness of breath.
How Xopenex Hfa works in the bodyLevosalbutamol works by affecting the β2 adrenergic receptors in your airway smooth muscle. When activated, these receptors increase the amount of cyclic AMP in your cells. The increased cyclic AMP causes a decrease in the ionic calcium concentrations of your muscles, making them relax. It also stops the release of mediators from mast cells in your airways, which helps ease asthma attacks.
When to interrupt dosage
The prescribed dosage of Xopenex Hfa depends on the determined condition, including Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), Bronchospasm and prophylaxis of Bronchospasm. The amount of dosage fluctuates as per the delivery approach (e.g. Respiratory (inhalation) or Oral) delineated in the table beneath.Condition

Xopenex Hfa Reviews: What are patients saying about Xopenex Hfa?
5Patient Review
12/12/2012 Xopenex HFA is the only inhaler that has helped me to get rid of mucus from my lungs. I have been using it for three months and have noticed some blurred vision and occasional slight dizziness.
5Patient Review
8/28/2010 Xopenex has been much more effective for me than Proventil. With the latter, I needed two or three puffs to get full relief, but Xopenex only requires one puff. The only downside is that it sometimes makes me feel jittery.
5Patient Review
4/6/2011 I love this stuff! I used to use Albuterol, but I would get jittery and have to take 4-6 puffs of it to feel relief. With Xopenex HFA, I only need one or two puffs.
5Patient Review
8/1/2016 This medication is much more effective than Albuterol.
5Patient Review
8/18/2016 This medication is much more effective for me than Albuterol.

Levalbuterol treats and prevents wheezing and shortness of breath caused by breathing problems such as asthma and COPD. It works by relaxing and opening air passages in the lungs to make breathing easier."
Answered by AI
Is Xopenex HFA the same as albuterol?
"Albuterol and Xopenex are both drugs with similar actions that are offered in different forms. Albuterol is available as an inhalant, oral tablet, and oral syrup, while Xopenex is only offered in an inhaled form. The cost of both drugs is similar, with generic versions of both now available."
Answered by AI
Is Xopenex HFA a rescue inhaler?
"Unlike other inhalers, Xopenex HFA can be used to relieve bronchospasm caused by exercise.
Xopenex HFA is a quick-acting inhaler that is used to treat bronchospasm. It works by relaxing the muscles around the airways to make breathing easier. Xopenex HFA can be used to relieve bronchospasm caused by exercise."
Answered by AI
Is Xopenex HFA a steroid?
"No, Xopenex (levalbuterol) is not a steroid. Xopenex (levalbuterol) is a bronchodilator, which relaxes the muscles in your lungs. Steroids are also used in asthma to lower inflammation in your lungs. These two types of medications work well together to help you breathe, but they are not the same thing."
