Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Causes Swelling In Lower Lip, Hand And Ankle While On Coversyl?
My husband is on blood pressure medication Coversyl. At least once a week or more he gets welling. First it was his lower lip. That went away and then it was his hand. That went away after 3 days and then his ankle swelled up yesterday. His ankle is ok today but his testicles and penis are about 4 times the size. Each separate swelling was hot to the touch. So worried.
HI Well come to HCM I really appreciate your concern, it may be allergic condition and most probable cause would be the drug sensitivity and it needs to be ruled out first, allergic condition can be managed with Tab Levocetirizine 10 mg three times in day, some time may requires steroid but it needs to be given under medical super vision hope this information helps.
