Question: does levalbuterol have albuterol in it?
Answer: Both levalbuterol and albuterol are grouped in a class of medications called beta-2 agonists. They are essentially cousins due to their chemical similarities. Levalbuterol contains the active form of albuterol, known as R-albuterol, while albuterol contains a 50:50 mixture of R-albuterol and S-albuterol.
