The best time to take Trimbow is twice daily: 2 puffs in the morning and 2 puffs in the evening, ideally at about the same times every day — for example, 8 AM and 8 PM. The U.S. prescribing information says to use it “twice daily, in the morning and evening,” and not to take more than 2 inhalations twice daily.
A good routine is:
- Morning dose: after waking or after brushing teeth.
- Evening dose: early evening or bedtime routine, as long as it is consistent.
- After each dose: rinse your mouth with water and spit it out to reduce the risk of oral thrush.
Trimbow is a maintenance inhaler, not a rescue inhaler. Do not use extra puffs for sudden wheezing or breathlessness; use your rescue inhaler as prescribed. The label says Trimbow does not relieve sudden asthma symptoms and should not replace a rescue inhaler.
If you miss a dose, take it when you remember, then take the next dose at your usual time — but do not exceed 4 inhalations per day.
