I was diagnosed as ABPA on top of my usual asthma and am prescribed with Vaicono-azole Accord 200mg - one twice a day. My asthma is well controlled and my breathing is breathing is acceptable with a slight sob - but - my legs have swollen badl y up to my knees and slightly beyond, making i t difficult to bend my legs. Has anyone else had this reaction ? Despite halving the dosage and taking Furosemide prescxibed b y my loc??al GP there has been no change.........???????????????????

The swollen legs sound painful. Perhaps you should see your GP about them.

If there has been no change my advice would remain that you consult your GP again.

MrsM is right. I had to stop taking Furosemide because it caused water retention and my legs swelled. I had to be changed to a different water tablet. Go see your GP and let him know.
