Drug‐related edema can be expected to subside completely upon withdrawal of the drug, although this may take several days. Drug therapy causes peripheral edema by two opposing mechanisms. First, as with nonspecific vasodilators such as hydralazine and minoxidil, sodium retention can be of sufficient magnitude to cause edema.
