Hi,
Dofetilide used as an antiarrhythmic drug is known to produce multiple small joint swelling with fluid retention.
After the cessation of drug therapy, it takes around 2-3 weeks for the body to revert the previous tissue changes back to normal.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Purva Patel,
