'this'll help you breathe' is the definition.
(drug alleviating asthma)

'mustang don't peg out' is the wordplay.
'mustang' becomes 'broncho' (broncho is a kind of mustang).
'don't peg out' becomes 'dilator' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'broncho'+'dilator'='BRONCHODILATOR'

'now do you hear?' is the link.
I am not very happy about this link. Some or all of it may belong to another bit of the clue.
