What is the best time to take your inhaler? Morning, afternoon, evening? Does it matter? Some inhalers only require once daily use, while others can be twice daily. Some inhalers have a faster onset of action compared to others. All these details are important and doctors will usually take them into account when giving you your prescription.
As most people are normally most active during the day, the morning is likely to be the best time to use inhalers which are only taken once daily, although there is no strict rule around this. This is because the peak concentration of the active substance in the airways will be in the hours after inhalation and this concentration will then slowly decline throughout the day.
If your inhaler is taken twice daily (i.e. one puff in the morning, one in the evening), this suggests that the maximum effect of the inhaler will last for around 12 hours. There is no sharp cut-off however and in some instances a twice daily inhaler may only be prescribed once daily (if your doctor believes this would be enough in your case).
