XOPENEX (pronounced zō-pen-eks) is a fast-acting medicine that is used to treat the narrowing of airways (bronchospasm) caused by asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
XOPENEX relaxes the tightened muscles around the airway passages and relieves symptoms like coughing, wheezing, chest tightening, and shortness of breath. If you have asthma or COPD, you should talk with your healthcare provider about whether XOPENEX is right you.
