A member asked:
Is rebound edema to be expected when stopping hctz (hydrochlorothiazide)? if so, how long does it last?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
No rebound: But if you have a condition causing edema that is left untreated, the swelling will come back until you get it under control.

Yes it's common: Depends on dose and length of use. Usually resolves within a couple ofweeks.
