Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I take a pill called Jakafi for my blood if I take a vitamin b-12 will that harm I also just started a uti that I was trying to get rid of and I drank a lot of WATER AND MY FEET AND LEGS UP TO KNEES ON BOTH LEGS ARE SWOLLEN MY LEFT LEG MORE SO THAN MY RIGHT I AM A PAST NURSES AID AND KNOW THAT CAN BE BAD SO I GO TO URGENTE CARE
This looks like an allergic reaction to Jakafi or it can also be an outcome of its interactions with the other medications you took. The swelling in the legs up to the knees is indicative of developing pathology in the circulatory/lymphatic system or acute kidney failure. Stop the medications, visit ER & get physically examined & evaluated without much delay. Get treated, take care.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
