Xopenex should help relieve your symptoms shortly after you take a dose by relaxing the muscles in the airways. You want to make sure that you are using your nebulizer properly and the Xopenex is reaching your lungs. If your symptoms worsen when taking Xopenex, or if you find you need to take more than the prescribed doses during the day to breathe clearly, contact your doctor.
