What Causes Sudden Swelling In The Legs And Feet While On Zyprexa?

I have been on zyprexa for at least 6 years. all of a sudden I have developed major swelling in my legs, feet, thighs, and some in my hands. is this a side effect? I am also diabetic, type 1. I have other symptoms too, such as missed periods for as long as I have been on this medication. thank you

Hello,

It is not related to Zyprexa.

Detailed evaluation is required to find out the exact cause.

An ultrasound scan is required for further assessment.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
