Levosalbutamol is the INN while levalbuterol is the USAN. Levalbuterol was approved in the United States as a solution to be used with a nebulizer device in March 1999 [7] and in March 2015 became available in a formulation with a metered-dose inhaler under the trade name Xopenex HFA (levalbuterol tartrate inhalation aerosol).

Beta adrenergic agonists or beta agonists are medications that relax muscles of the airways, causing widening of the airways and resulting in easier breathing. [1] They are a class of sympathomimetic agents, each acting upon the beta adrenoceptors. [2]
When combined with inhaled steroids, β adrenoceptor agonists can improve symptoms. [1] [2] In children this benefit is uncertain and they may be potentially harmful. [2]They should not be used without an accompanying steroid due to an increased risk of severe symptoms, including exacerbation in both children and adults. [3]

The hydroxyl group on the β-carbon is a mixture of S- and R-isomers, where the R-isomer is the active one. Another drug, Levalbuterol, has exactly the same structure. it contains only the R-isomer of Albutarol and is therefore much more active and the dose would be fourfold less for Levalbuterol than Albutarol.

Psychophysiological insomnia is anxiety-induced. Idiopathic insomnia generally begins in childhood and lasts for the rest of a person's life. It's suggested that idiopathic insomnia is a neurochemical problem in a part of the brain that controls the sleep-wake cycle, resulting in either under-active sleep signals or over-active wake signals.
