Alternating between inhalers week by week is a creative approach, but it's worth checking in with a doctor before continuing this routine. Inconsistent use of a maintenance inhaler like Trelegy could mean the lungs aren't getting the full, steady benefit they need. There are a few things that can help reduce inhaler-related hoarseness:
- Rinse your mouth and gargle with water immediately after using the inhaler — this is one of the most effective ways to reduce irritation
- Use a spacer device if not already doing so, as it reduces the amount of medication depositing in the throat
- Ask a doctor about whether a different inhaler format (like a nebulizer) might suit better
A doctor may also be able to suggest an alternative medication combination that delivers similar benefits with less irritation. It's definitely worth a conversation rather than going it alone with the alternating schedule!
