The INN appears to be levosalbutamol (see first result of Google search for "levalbuterol inn"... it's Martindale, but I can't access it directly since I don't have a login). --Galaxiaad 19:32, 9 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Nice catch—WHO list confirms this. This is pretty uncontroversial, so I've moved the page accordingly. Fvasconcellos (t·c) 20:46, 9 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

is it also the L-isomer

R and S enatiomers are used in chemistry.

Is it the L-isomer? if yes, please add somewhere to the article even if it is redundant. 163.40.12.37 (talk) 04:28, 30 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

"There is no reason to use levosalbutamol over salbutamol."

This is a very strongly worded line for a Wikipedia entry. While most studies have shown little/no difference in efficacy, there are instances where it might be superior over albuterol (need for frequent doses of a beta2 agonist.)

That line is a quote from one study. Here are studies that do not quite support that line:

We typically stick with summarizing recent reviews. The conclusions of the 2013 review is "Levalbuterol was not superior to albuterol regarding efficacy and safety in subjects with acute asthma. We suggest that levalbuterol should not be used over albuterol for acute asthma."

Have adjusted the wording to better match that. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 16:13, 6 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
