Bleeding with Levalbuterol nebulizing

I agree with you 100%. I doubt the Mayo Clinic would post something if there wasn't evidence behind it. But someone contested that since there's no citation. The person was trying to convince me that the Levalbuterol didn't trigger my bleeding, which occurred immediately after nebulizing deeply with it. I disagree!

@paxmundi If I recall correctly, your lungs are prone to hemoptysis and you must be extra cautious...that said, it doesn't surprise me that you would be someone who had a rare side effect of bleeding from levalbuterol.
If you read a summary of all the pre-release studies of Xopenex/levalbuterol, this was not a known side effect, but remember that test populations are carefully pre-screened. I doubt if anyone with a history of hemoptysis, especially severe episodes, would have been accepted.
