Hi,I am Dr. Amitkumar Sharma (Internal Medicine Specialist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I had a bad reaction to Keflex that was prescribed to me by a on call Doctor of my Primary Care Doctor back on 11/19/2017. 3 days later both my lower legs from my knees down to my feet Swelled up for over 5 days and on the 5 day I developed a bad rash on both lower legs & went to hospital over this. They said I had developed Chronic Venous Insufficiency in my legs due to this reaction to this medication. Have you heard of this happening to anybody else?

Does Keflex Cause Swelling In The Legs?
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice. Chronic venous insufficiency is due to incompetent valves in the veins. It cannot be caused as a result of drug allergy. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
