It is used to help the heart pump better and is only given intravenously. When the heart pumps better in cardiomyopathy patinets it usually improves their breathing, thus I believe this is the medicine you are referring to. In general there is only one other medicine used to help the heart pump better and that is dobutamine, also given intravenously. Palmoncort sounds like an asthma drug or an inhaled steroid preparation of some sort, but your best bet is to bring it to the pharmacy and have the pharmacist describe for you the purpose of the drug. I hope this information is useful.
