Hi, it can take up to a month to start having a full effect although you may notice some benefit within two weeks.

I was told it takes upto 6 weeks or more to become truly effective. it needs time to build up. i felt good effects after 3 weeks but its not been 6 weeks until the 31Dec 2019.

I have seasonal asthma so I often stop and start my clenil inhaler, it will normally take a week before I get a substantial amount of relief, I always start with the maximum dose and taper it down.
