Irma: Not sure what type of meds you are taking. Generally decongestants and antihistimines take 30 to 45 min to begin to be absorbed. If you are taking some type of inhaled steroid to prevent asthma, that can be days and days to start becoming effective. If you are using a rescue inhaler, then it is immediate.
If you could tell us your med, it would make it easier to answer the question.
