The amount of time it takes for a bronchodilator to start working depends on the type of medication you are taking and how it is administered. Short-acting beta agonists typically work within minutes, while long-acting bronchodilators may take several hours to reach their full effect. If you have any questions about the timing or effectiveness of your medication, be sure to talk to your doctor or healthcare provider. The fastest acting bronchodilator is a short-acting beta agonist (SABA). SABAs are typically taken through an inhaler and start working within minutes to open up the airways in the lungs, making it easier to breathe. These medications are used on an as-needed basis for acute flare-ups of asthma or other respiratory conditions.
