Hi Tedi. I discovered I had asthma at the age of 62. My dad also had his first asthma attack around that age, it must be a lot more common than we think.To answer your question, I take my preventer meds at 9 am and 9 pm - that is personal preference as it fits better with my daily routines.

A preventer is to be taken 12 hrs apart; you can choose times that suit you.

Hope that helps

HelloWell I am 67 and have had asthma for 20 odd years

My asthma was controlled until recently with inhalers which I take first thing and just before bed

So dont worry you will be fine, make sure you see your nurse regularly, and if you have problems talk to them

Keep smilin!

Hi Tedi

Welcome to the forum!

Any time that works for you will do! So long as you remember them they will work. It takes about 6-8 weeks for the steroid to build up in your system properly.

Welcome! If you want some more background reading, this post I wrote for people new to asthma:

However, Emma's inhalers post might be enough for now - you might not want information overload from mine as well!
