Is Isuprel Elixir Still Available For Bronchial Pneumonia?

In March 1980 I had Bronchial Pneumonia. My Aviation Medical Examiner prescribed Isuprel Elixir . The instructions were to take a tablespoon every 6 hours and if by 24hrs the congestion was not leaving my body I was to report to the Hospital for other treatment. Is Isuprel Elixir still available for the same purpose as I had it in 1980? It was working in less than six hours.
