Arms	Assigned Interventions
1: Experimental Levalbuterol HFA MDI with top mounted actuation indicator	Drug: Levalbuterol HFA MDI with top mounted actuation indicator Levalbuterol HFA MDA with top mounted actuation indicator

Detailed Description:

This is an open-label, multicenter, TMAI study with Levalbuterol HFA MDI in adult and pediatric subjects with asthma or COPD. Period I: One week, open-label, run-in period during which subjects must have asthma or COPD symptoms requiring use of, as needed, Levalbuterol HFA MDI(without TMAI) on at least half of the days [4-12 actuations on a single day]. Period II: Nine week, open-label period during which subjects will use the Levalbuterol HFA MDI with TMAI PRN. The total study duration for a subject will not exceed 10 weeks.

Eligibility

Ages Eligible for Study:	4 Years and older
Genders Eligible for Study:	Both
Accepts Healthy Volunteers:	No

Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

Subject must have a documented diagnosis of asthma or COPD for a minimum of 6 months.

Subject must be in good health with the exception of their reversible airways disease and not suffering from any chronic condition that might affect their respiratory function.

Exclusion Criteria:

Female subject who is pregnant or lactating.
Subject who has a history of hospitalization for asthma or COPD within 45 days.
Subject with currently diagnosed life-threatening asthma or COPD, defined as a history of asthma or COPD episodes requiring intubation, associated with hypercapnia, respiratory arrest, or hypoxic seizures within 3 months prior.
Subject with supplemental oxygen use
