What Causes Swelling In The Legs After Taking Chlordiazepoxide?

Hello Dr, my name is Karen. On 4/4/18 I started a couse of Chlodiazapoxide & after finishing my reducing dose I developed acute swelling oedema of both legs which I have experience done for 2 weeks now. I am taking 40mg furosemide each morning & have been abstinent from alcohol from 4/4/18. I have been referred to the AAU but I wonder what to expect , I also have malar rash on my face. I am 43. Many thanks

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

It seems you have Cirrhosis of liver (Alcoholic) and pedal edema is due to decompensation. Chlodiazapoxide is given to prevent alcohol withdrawal symptoms and has nothing to do with your swelling feet.

Regards,
