I am suffering from chronic bronchitis as a result of smoking for 35 years. I have been smoking two packs a day and have been coughing a lot for the past seven years, especially in the morning and every respiratory infection lasted longer and longer. Is Pirbuterol good to treat conditions symptoms caused by asthma, chronic bronchitis, and emphysema?

All these conditions you have mentioned belong to chronic obstructive lung diseases. This medication will help in dealing with the symptoms of these illnesses, because it activates the dilatation of bronchi, which are often constricted because of those conditions (air passages are obstructed). It will also slow down the progression of bronchitis into emphysema.
