Would Taking Cilest Cause Edema On The Side Of The Foot And Ankle?
I ve had two days of edema on the side of the foot and ankle - especially after long days on my feet. (Not two consecutive days). The skin pitts when it is pressed but is not red or hurting. I m on Cilest, the contraceptive pill - and wanted to know if this is a common side effect? or simply because I ve been on my feet for extended periods of time? I am of average weight for my height.

Hi,
No cilest is not known to cause edema. It is a common to edema, pedal (foot) edema after long stressful days. It is not only standing or walking but even sitting for long can cause pedal edema.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
