Xopenex generic name?

What is Xopenex’s generic name?

Xopenex is a brand name for levalbuterol (also written as levabuterol), a short-acting bronchodilator used for breathing problems such as bronchospasm in asthma and other lung conditions.

Is there a generic version under the same name?

Yes. The “generic name” you’re looking for is levalbuterol, which is sold as a generic drug (often listed as levalbuterol hydrochloride, depending on the specific product and formulation).

How does levalbuterol relate to albuterol?

Levalbuterol is closely related to albuterol (another common bronchodilator). In practice, Xopenex (levalbuterol) and albuterol products are used for similar symptom relief, but they are different drug formulations.
