What Is Dropsy?

3. Medicinal Causes
Some medications can have very unwelcome side effects so it is always important to follow the advice of professionals when using them. While some side effects can be dangerous, most are not, but it still pays to be cautious. Depending on which medication somebody is taking, they might experience edema as a symptom.
Medications that can cause this include estrogen, which is a female hormone. Some NSAIDs might also be responsible, and these are a fairly common variety of drug that are used for inflammation and pain relief. Some steroids can also cause the condition, as can some medication for diabetes.
