Hi
Thanks for posting on HCM
Leg swelling/swelling on other parts of by may be side effects of omnacortil.The use of this drug for long is however not the best.I will suggest you just continue the drug as an abrupt stop may cause more problems.You will have to reduce the dose progressively till you get over it.Your Doctor may accompany you throughout the process with advise and observation.
Hope this will help
Best regards
