A member asked:

How can i avoid water retention from antiimflammatories? cant take tylenol cause i broke out really bad last wk, like in hives, im taking naproxen now

A doctor has provided 1 answer

See below : Drug-induced edema is rather common and much less of a dangerous side effect than it is a bothersome side effect to people. NSAIDs are a common cause of edema related to salt/sodium retention by the kidneys. Leg elevation, compression stockings, and salt restriction helpful in limiting edema. Using diuretics along with NSAIDs increase the risk of damaging the kidneys. Tylenol not anti-inflammatory
