A member asked:
Mom using advair for years now switched to another due to hoarseness. dulera (formoterol and mometasone) is that any more harmful?
4 doctors weighed in across 3 answers
Both combo meds: Both Dulera (formoterol and mometasone) and advair are combination inhalers containing corticosteroid and long-acting bronchodilator for the treatment of asthma. Hoarseness is a common side effect from the inhaled steroid; the steroid can affect the muscles in the larynx. This is frequently seen with the more potent steroids and is reversible (slowly). The switch is fine.

Perfectly : Reasonable substitution, but still may have hoarseness. Give the new regimen a chance.

Same: I would think side effects would be almost identical. Look at switching to stiolto or anoro. There's no steroid in those which is probably what is causing the hoarseness.
