Levalbuterol. It's the R enantiomer (as opposed to albuterl which is racemic - R and S enantiomers). Back in the day, pharmaceutical put it out with the thought it would give all the benefits of albuterol without the side effects (tachycardia, jitteriness) but didn't really pan out. Works as well as albuterol but typically more expensive
