My doctor recently switched me to Xopenex from Albuterol and I'm finding its not working as well. (I'm also on Advair) Anybody experiencing the same problem?

no but i have heard this from other patients (i'm a nurse) ask your doctor to switch you back to what is working for you. if he is a half decent doctor he'll respect your wishes. drug companies have big push for xopenex right now it seems and this is probably why he wants to switch you.

My daughter used to have to use breathing treatments/inhalers and they put her on the xopenex because the albuterol made her heart rate race way to high. Why did your doctor switch you, I think you should ask to be put back on teh albuterol if it works better Many of our friends with issues didnt do as well on the xopenex either.

Yes i was on xopenex inhaler which i got from PhamracySell, Xopenex is a brochodilator inhaler, which is best used for the treatment of reversible airway condition like asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) like bronchitis, emphysema. Asthma is a disease which is caused due to the narrowing and inflammation of the airway passage.
