Hi and thanks for the query,
These drugs need specific indications to be taken. First , because they have specific side effects that need to be monitored carefully and secondly, because the effectiveness is dose dependent and patient dependent.
I suggest you meet an internist and possibly a pulmonologist first. Regards
