A member asked:

How long does it take foot swelling to go down after starting hydrochlorothiazide?

5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

?: Hydrochlorothiazide is not necessarily going to resolve the foot swelling. If the swelling is in the foot alone, you should find out the actual cause of the swelling. Foot swelling is a symptom not a disease that's treated with diuretics.

Dr Fowler and 2 doctors agreed

Depends on dose: It depends on how much medication your md has you taking.Slow is better.
