A mid-afternoon puff of a preventer inhaler could be the best way for a person with asthma to keep their symptoms under control, according to a new study.

Academics, led by experts from the University of Manchester in Britain, found that if a person with asthma takes their brown inhaler between 3pm and 4pm, they may see symptoms improve.
