Anyone have edema here, treated?

My sister had her edema on feet treated with Lasix but it didn't really help. I'm thinking she needs a higher dose. Hers was 20 mg. Anyone here take more than 20 and it helped?

Or any other meds you were on for edema?

I was on Lasix, too, for the short term, but now I take Maxzide. It contains two different meds and one of them helps your body retain potassium - going low on that can cause problems. There are many different medications your sister can go on - the best person is her doctor to ask.

Probably best for your sister to ask her doctor rather than you seeking advice from this place

@JessicaMe @Thatsright Oh these are just for ideas because most doctors she's seen have not prescribed or said anything. We had to ask and ask about her edema when she was in the hospital, and they didn't treat it after all. I get ideas here and then we will ask her PCP.

@JessicaMe I get ideas wherever I can , but we def ask her PCP on the final move.

Might need a higher dose or another diuretic drug
I was taking 40mg every other day for years
