Description
Levalbuterol is a short-acting beta 2 adrenergic agonist. Levalbuterol binds to beta 2 adrenergic receptors and activates intracellular adenyl cyclase to promote the convertion of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) to cyclic-3',5'-adenosine monophosphate (cAMP). It is used to treat wheezing and shortness of breath caused by breathing problems (such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease)
