How to prevent hoarse voice due to inhalers? Side Effects 1 Views • 15 days ago

Tips to prevent voice hoarseness caused by inhaler use. Many patients complain of a hoarse voice when using inhalers, especially those which contain corticosteroids (such as Symbicort, Seretide, Foster etc.). These inhaler treatments are beneficial for controlling conditions such as asthma, however a hoarse voice can develop in some patients.

Often, there are 2 causes which are often overlooked:

1. Incorrect inhaler technique - many patients were never shown the correct inhaler technique for their prescribed device. There are many inhalers available and using them correctly can be confusing. Incorrect use causes the medication to deposit at the back of the throat, which in time causes irritation and a hoarse voice. I recommend to always ask your doctor or healthcare professional for a demonstration on how to use any newly prescribed inhaler and to regularly check your technique during consultations. Breathing in the medication correctly from the inhaler is specific to each device, however can be generally classified in two broad categories: A) slow and deep breath for MDI inhalers (which produce a puff on their own) and B) strong/powerful and deep breath in for DPI inhalers (which contain a dry powder, therefore require more force to effectively draw the medication deep into the lungs).

2. Not rinsing the back of the throat after taking the dose - This is often overlooked and a very simple way to prevent inhaler-induced voice hoarseness. Especially with corticosteroid inhalers, removing any residual medication from the back of the throat and mouth is very helpful. You can do this by simply taking some water in your mouth, swishing it around, gargling for a few seconds and spitting it out. I highly recommend doing this after using your inhaler. The medication only needs to be in the airways deep in the lungs.

With MDI inhalers, a spacer device can sometimes also help:

WHAT IS A TURBOHALER:
Turbohalers are commonly prescribed for patients with asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) as they are very effective at delivering the medication straight to the lungs where it is needed. Using your turbohaler correctly is an important part of asthma or COPD treatment. You should be shown how to use turbohaler properly by a healthcare professional when they are first prescribed.

HOW TO USE A TURBOHALER:
Why is technique important,
• It allows the correct dose of medication to reach your lungs.
• It gives you better control of your condition.

Please watch the video for the full explanation on how to use a turbohaler and how to prime a new device,
1- Breathe out gently and slowly away from the inhaler until your lungs feel empty and you feel ready to breathe in.
2- Hold the inhaler horizontally, but don’t tip it upside down as the powder may fall out.
3- Place the mouthpiece between teeth without biting and close lips to form a good seal. Remember, do not cover the air vents.
4- Then breathe in forcefully as strongly and deeply as you can until your lungs are full. This is key to make sure that a full dose can reach your lungs.
5- You may not be able to sense if the medicine has entered your lungs from inhaling the device, this lack of sensation does not mean that it hasn't reached the lungs, you should not repeat the dose even if you do not feel this sensation.
6- For those of you who can’t inhale strongly or deeply, maybe a turbohaler isn’t the correct inhaler for you. You can usually tell if you can't breathe in enough by tasting the powder from the inhaler, as it can’t reach your lungs or with some inhalers, not hearing a ‘click’ sound. Please speak to a healthcare professional if this happens.
7- After inhaling take the inhaler out of your mouth and hold your breath for up to 10 seconds, or for as long as you comfortably can.
8- Then breathe out gently away from the inhaler. If you’ve been prescribed a second puff, repeat these steps.

Common mistakes that are made with Turbohalers include:
• Not holding the Turbohaler upright when loading the dose.
• Not twisting the grip in both directions to load the dose correctly.
• Not inhaling strongly enough to draw the medication out of the Turbohaler and in to your
lungs.
• Moisture from breathing out getting inside the Turbohaler and leaving the cover off.

Useful tips
• Place the Turbohaler on a table to keep it upright when loading the dose.
• Replace the cover after use.
• If your Turbohaler contains a corticosteroid rinse your mouth out with water after your
dose.
• Speak to your healthcare professional if you experience problems using your Turbohaler.
• Always read the patient leaflet provided with your Turbohaler for any specific instructions
