When giving inhaled steroids qvarby mdi bid, do we have to try to shoot for a 12hr schedule? doc wants them bound around vestpt, can't 12hr it in life

Approximately: Inhaled steroids usually lasts about 12 hrs. So you have to time time it approximately about 12 hrs otherwise you are left without coverage for few hours. Eventhough you dont have to maintain exactly 12 hrs, an hour plus minus is ok.
