Xopenex and Growth: Effects on Height and Development


Question
I am 17 years old 5ft8in 125lbs and in great shape.I have just been given XOPENEX HFA 45 MCG inhaler for having breathing problems when running track. I heard XOPENEX is a type of steriod and i was wondering if taking the inhaler could either stunt my growth, or maybe help me grow, or cause neither? I am really interested in getting taller right now so also i was wondering if you knew anything to help me grow taller?
   Thank you for you time and consideration

Answer
xopenex is an alpha blocker not a steroid the same as albuterol for exercise induced asthma.

1/2 box of Jello at dinner, with high potency B complex will maximize growth if you get at least 2 hours of sleep before midnight when the growth hormone is the greatest.
