What are side effects of xopenex (levalbuterol) inhalers for asthma?

Temporary jitterines: For the most part, you may experience temporary jitteriness that usually lasts for 15-20 minutes after taking it. This is because the medication causes an increase in heart rate. You may want to consult your physician prior to taking this if you have any heart problems. This is the most common side effect.

Similar to albuterol: Xopenex (levalbuterol) or lev-albuterol is a quick relief bronchodilator. Side effects are typically mild and short lived. They can include tremor, jitteriness, and increased heart rate. Some studies suggest these side effects are less than albuterol. The side effects can also depend on the dose.
