Question 1

I've just been diagnosed with mild intermittent asthma and my doctor prescribed the Foracort 200 brown inhaler. I've been using it for 5 days now, but I haven't really noticed any improvement. How long does it typically take to work? Is there anything else I should be doing, or is it normal to wait a bit longer to see results? Would love some guidance on this.

Accepted Answer

It can take a few days to a couple of weeks to notice significant improvement with inhalers like Foracort 200, as they help reduce inflammation in the airways. If you're not feeling better soon, it's a good idea to follow up with your doctor for further evaluation.
