Deplatt-cv Side Effects (Thread 218977)

For 6 months I visited my doctor who did angioplasty for me. On the 6th month my doctor prescribed me DEPLATT-CV (one capsule a day). On both of my legs below the ankle swelling occurs. Is it because of this capsule administered to me? It contains Atorvastatin which was discontinued by my doctor earlier due to the same problem (now experienced in legs) in my palm and fingers. In my case, I feel that the Atorvastatin component in DEPLATT-CV is the reason behind it. Has anyone else been met with such a problem before? Please reply.

REPORT

Deplatt-CV contains Aspirin, Atorvastatin and Clopidogrel, it is used to prevent clotting, thin the blood and reduce cholesterol.

And yes, the Atorvastatin could cause the edema/fluid retention that you are experiencing.

One thing you can do, on your own, to try and reduce it is to lower the amount of sodium you are taking in, by watching your diet. The human body really only requires about 500mgs a day and most of us take in way more than that. High sodium levels can contribute to fluid retention.

You should also consult with your doctor, because reducing the dosage, or adding a medication, such as a diuretic may help alleviate the problem.
