My sister has viral infections that happen often and they always compolicate with bacterial infection, which lead to bronchitis. Lately, she had several asthmatic attacks and worried us all. Attack itself was really frightening so we took her to the doctor where she was prescribed with pirbuterol. Is Pirbuterol good to treat wheezing, shortness of breath and troubled breathing?

Pirbuterol is an excellent medication for all the symptoms you have mentioned (those are standard signs of asthmatic attack). It is beta 2 adrenergic type of drug. It functions by dilatation of the air passages. Its effect lasts for 12 hours and that is because it accumulates on the surface of the epithel of bronchi.
