Comment:
After using the Pro-Air (albuterol) inhaler for years, I was recently prescribed Xopenex after being sick of my heart racing from the albuterol. Xopenex does not work as fast as albuterol (works in minutes as opposed to seconds) but doesn't make my heart race and I have no side affects. On my cigna prescription plan Pro-Air was $40 and Xopenex is $25.

It's easy to use but I ended up in the hospital with an asmatha attack because it didn't work at all.

Works okay,although not very fast, but causes insomnia if I use several times for a day or two. Not jittery, but wide awake for hours.
