- In Ramadan regular medication intake is very important for patients with chronic airway disease. By hot stopping their regular maintenance drugs they can rearrange their medication times in a different way on iftar and sehri in discussion with a respiratory medicine consultant.
- For patients who do not want to use their inhaled drugs during fasting hours, all inhaled medications taken together in iftar and sehri timing do not decrease the regular efficiency of drugs; however, inhaled steroids might be recommended twice daily twelve hours apart.
