Brother-in-law Was Just Put On Diuretic For Lower Leg Dependent
Brother-in-law was just put on diuretic for lower leg dependent edema -- heart issues were not identified. 2nd doctor started him on prednisone for new diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis. Should he get new assessment for dosage, and/or need for first diuretic because of the prednisone?
