How long would you have to be taking a medicine to know if it is the cause for swollen feet/ankles? one side is worse than the other.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: Some medications will cause an immediate same day reaction or allergic response. Others may not cause swelling at all. It depends on the specific medication and your personal medical history. Check in for a follow up with your prescribing doctor or a virtual consult if you are concerned. Best wishes!
