Key takeaways
Levalbuterol (Xopenex) and albuterol (ProAir HFA, Ventolin HFA, and others) are both prescription medications. They are short-acting beta agonists (SABAs) used to treat and prevent sudden wheezing or shortness of breath in people with breathing problems like asthma. They work by relaxing the muscles in your lungs to open up your airways. Levalbuterol is typically every 6-8 hours as needed, whereas albuterol is typically every 4 to 6 hours as needed. Common side effects of both medications include sore throat and runny nose. Both medications can interact with similar drugs, such as blood pressure medications and antidepressants. Your prescriber can work with you to find the best option for you.
