User Comments about Xopenex HFA
05 Jan 2010 I started taking Xopenex after taking proair when they moved away from using aerosole inhalers. It works better than proair but not as effective as the old albuterol.

10 Nov 2008 You would probably get better responses from your survey if you told respondents which way your scale goes (ie 1 very satisified or 10 very satisfied). By the way, I was leaning toward the right being good.
