Brief Answer:
To increase the Furosemide dosage

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for your query.

The swelling in the legs could be due to kidney, heart or liver disease.

I would like to know the specific cause for such swelling in you.

Please do share recent blood reports if any.

Meanwhile you can step up the dosage of Furosemide dosage to double taking the second pill in the noon provided BP is normal.
