Levalbuterol for asthma

Article Abstract:

The FDA has approved levalbuterol for the treatment of asthma. Sold under the trade name Xopenex, it is believed to be safer than other forms of albuterol. It is the R-isomer of albuterol, whereas most forms of albuterol contain both the R-isomer and the S-isomer. However, only the R-isomer can dilate bronchial tubes. Levalbuterol belongs to a class of drugs called short-acting beta agonists. These drugs are administered as a nebulized solution. Studies have shown that levalbuterol is no more effective than other forms of albuterol.
