Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXX,
Thanks for posting your query on HCM
Brovana is a long acting beta agonist. It is used in the management of COPD and Asthma. It is known to have certain adverse effects on the heart. Though the incidence is not very high but it is definitely there. Keeping his age in view I am of the opinion that you should consult his doctor or a cardiologist before using it.
Hope this answers your query.
Take care.
