I have just started taking this tablet. Does anyone know how long they take to start working and helping the breathing. These have been prescribed by my lung specialist, followed by blood test in 10 days time.

Yes I have been on them now for five years and I would never be without them to me they are the best pills I have every been but you are supposed to get a blood test every 6 months but I have ever only had one and I think it was a bit low so think they are upping my dose to 300 now I am not sure how it took for them to kick in but you will know when it does and you will be pleased when it does

Thank you I am on 200 morning and 200 evening. Have to have blood test next Tuesday. Only second day of taking but am wanting a miracle I suppose.

I also take them started at 250 morning and night now at 375 mornings and 250 at night I started them in Feb and have had 3 lots of blood tests so far in order to get the right level. I think the dosage is also based on your height and weight.
