How long does it take to feel better after starting to take asthma medication?? i started today with an inhaler and a few tablets prescribed by my dr.

Depends on the med: It will usually take 2-4 weeks for anti inflammatory medicines for asthma to reach their full effect, but patients report feeling some improvement within a few days. However, it depends on which medications your doctor chose.
