Change in Preferred Drug List Status for Generic Levalbuterol Inhalation Solution Effective October 31, 2023

Last updated on

In response to the shortage of inhalation solution products with the preferred brand name Xopenex, the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) has removed the non-preferred status from the generic levalbuterol inhalation solution products on the preferred drug list (PDL) effective October 31, 2023. Providers can now prescribe the generic levalbuterol inhalation solution without requiring a PDL prior authorization, allowing clients to continue accessing necessary medication.

The following table lists the generic levalbuterol products with their National Drug Codes (NDCs):
