Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Asthma / December 2003ADVAIR and hoarseness
I am having quite a bit of hoarseness lately, and wondering if it could be due to using ADVAIR. I started ADVAIR about six weeks ago, and it does seem that my voice problem started about then. I did a google search and found a few references that suggest some people have experienced this. Would appreciate experience if you have it. Thanks.

I was wondering if really rinsing out my mouth and throat might help after inhaling, don't know. Julien :-) Didn't read the instructions, did you? :-) Highlighted instructions on the sheet say rinse mouth without swallowing after each use. Your doctor should have emphasized this. > > I am having quite a bit of hoarseness lately, and wondering if it could be > > due to using ADVAIR.

Very mild salt water may help. >I am having quite a bit of hoarseness lately, and wondering if it could be >> due to using ADVAIR. I had a lot of hoarseness for several months, Dr. said probably not from Advair, sent me to ENT who said it was caused by allergy and reflux. I finally figured out it was from Atrovent used with Xopenex in nebulizer because when I used the Albuterol inhaler instead of nebulizer while on a trip the hoarseness improved. When I went back to nebulizer and used just the Xopenex, no hoarseness, and have been fine since. I'm sure I'm allergic to the atrovent because when I tried it again I not only got hoarse but started wheezing. Hope this helps. Barbara Am doing an experiment to see if it is the ADVAIR -- stopped ADVAIR altogether for a few days, and my voice has recovered. That might be a coincidence, so am now resuming it's use for a few days to see if hoarseness returns. Will post results.

I find I have to do it right away so I ready a glass of water, inhale my Advair and, while I'm holding my breath for a few seconds, swirl around a bit of water in my mouth and spit it out, at which point I'm ready to exhale as well. Contrary to what the other poster said, your doctor needn't have emphasized this practice. The problem doesn't happen to everyone and, if you don't need the extra steps, there's no benefit served by following them IMHO. -S- > I am having quite a bit of hoarseness lately, and wondering if it could be > due to using ADVAIR.
