    I noticed results with Advair immediately. I had exercise induced asthma as a kid that went away and then very kindly showed back up again when I hit my mid 40s When I started riding about a year ago, I was triggering an asthma attack pretty much every time I went out to ride. I've had an albuterol rescue inhaler for years (which I previously only had to use 2-3 times a year; my asthma was pretty mild), which I started using regularly because of my bike rides. My doc didn't like me using the rescue inhaler as a regular preventative, so he prescribed Advair for me. I find it makes a big difference. My lungs don't start going haywire nearly as quickly. Per my doc, I try to take a puff about 1/2 an hour before I ride.

    As with all medical stuff, your mileage may vary
