How is maxair (pirbuterol) different from proair? in what cases would maxair (pirbuterol) be preferred? if i have sleep apnea, high bp, high cholesterol -- is maxair (pirbuterol) preferred?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
inhaled steroid: Maxair is pirbuterol, proair is albuterol. Both are quite similar. You may actually need anti-inflammatory medication. Osa BP chol have nothing to do with maxair. Better check with your doc before you die! these are completely different diseases!
