Noticing some heavy edema in lower extremities - just took a 25mg chlorthalidone w/my usual tenoretic (atenolol 50/chlor25 mg) any idea how long this might take to lessen edema? I m 49, 5 6 and approx 140 lbs - female w/ high BP usually controlled w/tenoretic.

HELLO.
CHLORTHALIDONE IS A DIURETIC AND ITS RESPONSIBLE MAINLY FOR REDUCING PERIPHERAL EDEMA AND NOT SO MUCH ATENOLOL. THOUGH ATENOLOL HAS OTHER BENEFITS.
YOU WILL SEE A DIFFERENCE IN EDEMA IN ABOUT 2 WEEKS.
THANX
