Husky voice and Spiriva

I take Spiriva Respimat every day (one dose in the morning) and also Serevent. Since taking the former, I have been becoming hoarser and hoarser. I really notice it as I am a singer and have worked as a professional singer at times. I know that my vocal chords have been really affected by the drug. It does control my asthma really well though but I hate the way my singing and speaking voice sounds. I sound like Selma and Patty from The Simpsons!!!! Does anyone know how to get round this problem?

i have the same with my preventer inhaler beclometasone dipropionate. I have been advised to gargle with water immediately after use and it seems to help.

I have a couple of mouthfuls of milk before inhalers and then gargle after. My voice is much improved after doing this for a few weeks.
