Stomach was very irritated but after two years getting used to it. Great help to me to get all that fluid off. I weigh 114-116 now. 13 pounds of fluid really made me tired- was in early to mid 50s. Edecrin was a lifesaver. Carry around 13 extra pounds on your body and or even think about it and you will realize what I mean.

Used to remove fluid retention in right leg caused by BP medication 5 mg of amlodipine. FYI, 2.5 mg of amlodipine didn't cause fluid retention; trying to get back to 2.5 mg.
