Brovana is not approved for use in children (which makes sense, since COPD is almost always a disease of elderly people). Talk with your child's healthcare provider about the benefits and risks of using Brovana in children.

Off-Label Brovana Uses

On occasion, your healthcare provider may recommend Brovana for treating something other than COPD. This is called an "off-label" use. At this time, using Brovana to treat asthma or other breathing problems other than COPD is considered an off-label use.

However, studies suggest that long-acting beta agonists (like Brovana) may increase the risk of asthma-related deaths. Long-acting beta agonists should never be used to treat asthma unless a long-term asthma controller medication (such as an inhaled steroid) is also used.
