All of them Xopenex is the only one that does not go by albuterol. No generics because of the cfc ban. We do have generic albuterol neb solution. The Xopenex doesn't cause the shakiness that the other versions do and can be more effective. I wonder if that is what part of my problem has been? hmmmmm... I am going to ask for a sample of Xopenex to try for odor exposures again.
If this is more than a temporary flare, you might need to consider taking more maitenanve meds. Not fun, I know. You are already on good ones. You could try Symbicort as it does work better for some people than Advair does.
Make sure your acid reflux is well controlled. You may need to step up to a proton pump inhibitor for that.
Other options would include adding antihistamine and/or Singulair. Also, nasal sprays if allergies are a problem as well.
Hi, fast heart rate is due to Xopenex. Initially, use of this drug is associated with this side effect but over a period of time, tolerance usually develops. In case if you have a pre exisiting heart disease, please avoid this drug.
Consult you treating doctor to lower the dose or frequency, other alternative is sustained release deriphylline tablets.
My son's teacher just informed me that my son is having trouble completing his work. Not that he can't do it, but he is either talking or daydreaming. He is often easily distracted. She said this has been going on for about a month. Some days are better than others. He is at a new school, but has similar problems at his old school. They give him time do his work and he will either talk to other or just sit there. He does exhibit this behavior at home sometime while doing homework.
He said that he must have gotten some sort of virus and it triggered his asthma. He told me to continue his Singulair, Pulmicort Respules one time a day, Xopenex in the nebulizer every four hours, and he prescribed Prednisone two times per day (dr. said to start the steroid only if the cough does not slow down).
So on Wednesday morning, my son woke up at 6:30am coughing non-stop....coughing so much that he vomited!
She tires out more quickly than her cousin who is 2 weeks older than her. In the past she has been anemic, but her last blood work was good only her mcv was low. She has low blood sugar. She takes singulair daily and a vitamin.
She sometimes has a blue tint arount her mouth not her lips.

My 6 year old grandaughter often has to take Xopenex HFA for asthma related issues. It makes her extremely irritable, she has a bad temper and in general is very mooddy? Is this a side affect?
What a rough start for your poor daughter! My daughter was also diagnosed with asthma before 2 years old. She had chronic pneumonia. Sometimes her pneumonias would be diagnosed as an asthma problem, then they would try antibiotics and she'd clear right up. Once your daughter gets older it's easier to see the signs. My daughter is on Sinulair, Flo-Vent and Xeopenex. My daughters asthma is illness induced and allergy induced.
They are suppose to strip my membranes how does that work? Does it hurt.
