What Causes Swelling And Pain In The Feet After Taking Furosemide 20 Mg?
I have just started to take Furosemide 20 mgm, one tablet in the mornings, I only started them yesterday, so have only taken two so far. My feet and legs are still swollen, due to my Doctor changing my blood pressure tabs. Can you tell me how long it will take before I get any results in loosing this pressure. Many thanks Mr. T.

Hi
Thank you for contacting healthcare magic.
Furosemide is a diuretic thus causes to lose excess body water in urine. Swelling of your feet will be reduced with time depending on your condition. Stay compliant to medicine. Keep pillow under your feet while sleeping & do not hang your legs for longer times. Avoid excessive salt intake.
Take care
