Here is a collection of user reviews for the medication Xopenex HFA sorted by most helpful. ![]()
The following Patient Discussions have not been medically reviewed. See additional information.
Very effective for wheezing and coughing of asthma. It does give me nausea and a sore throat, trouble sleeping and dizziness, however it's better than not being able to breathe. It doesn't make me agitated and belligerent like Albuterol did. Rinse your mouth after using to get rid of the taste. Published: August 21, 2008 ::
Well, doesn't have that disgusting taste that normal inhalers have, but honestly I feel no relief and my heart does race. Published: October 23, 2007 ::
I SOMETIMES GET AN UNUSUAL TASTE IN MY MOUTH AFTER USING IT. FOR THE MOST PART I AM VERY HAPPY. Published: October 25, 2007 ::
This inhaler caused me to have 2 asthma attacks in the same day. Made me dizzy and lightheaded. I had a horrible time with severe trembles and shakes. Will never use this again. I cannot use anything with HFA. I have severe asthma. Please read side effects before using this medication. Published: December 21, 2008 ::

gave me muscle aches and pains in my joints. Published: October 15, 2007 ::
This medicine is quick acting and powerful. Published: April 09, 2008 ::
I occasionally have the funny taste in my mouth, but I was more concerned with the tightness I felt in my chest after each use, using as directed. It only lasted a few minutes each time I used it. The satisfaction of use varied as sometimes it appeared to help and other times it didn't seem like it did a thing for me. Published: April 06, 2008 ::

I like the fact that is does not make me jittery, but I don't feel it works as fast as servent. Published: February 19, 2008 ::
I have been on it about 2 weeks now and it is working well for me. I take 2 puffs twice a day and I am using my fast-acting inhaler a whole lot less. I can even use it before exercising and it works as well as my fast acting inhaler. No problems with it so far. Published: April 17, 2009 ::

I only slept about an hour and a half after taking this medication at 11 pm. I was really shaky. Although I assume it did what it was supposed to do. It was a little scary. Published: September 21, 2007 ::
