It may take 1-2 weeks or longer before the full benefit of this drug takes effect. Inform your doctor if your symptoms do not improve or if they worsen.

Be sure you understand which asthma medications to use on a regular schedule (controller drugs) and which to use as needed for sudden asthma attacks (quick-relief medications). Consult your doctor about what you should do if your breathing worsens (for example, if you have increased coughing or shortness of breath, or if you wake up at night with breathing trouble). Also discuss what to do if this medication stops working well. Watch for signs of worsening asthma and report them to your doctor promptly. Your doctor may need to change your dose of controller medications to help prevent a serious asthma attack. Signs include needing to use your quick-relief inhaler more often (more than 2 days a week, more than 1 canister a month), or having peak flow meter readings in the yellow/red range. Get instructions from your doctor about when you can treat breathing problems by yourself and when you must seek immediate medical attention.
