This category is designed for people searching terms such as swollen ankles, leg swelling support and oedema capsules, with clear product details and an easy way to order online from a UK based and regulated pharmacy.

Edema can be linked to prolonged sitting or standing, hot weather, pregnancy, some medicines, or underlying health conditions. Because the best option depends on the cause, use this page to compare what’s available, read suitability guidance, and decide whether you’d benefit from pharmacist advice before buying—especially if swelling is new, worsening, one-sided, or you take regular medicines.

Shop by edema type

Popular types of edema support products

  • Venous-support capsules (commonly chosen when swelling is linked to circulation-related leg discomfort)
  • Compression hosiery (often used for travel or everyday support; correct sizing matters)
  • Cooling gels and topical rubs (often used for tired, heavy-feeling legs; check label indications)
  • Condition-led support (choosing options based on what’s driving symptoms, not swelling alone)

How to choose the right option

  • Check the pattern: one-sided vs both legs, sudden vs gradual, and whether swelling improves overnight.
  • Match the option to the cause: venous-support products differ from products marketed for mild fluid retention.
  • Confirm suitability: age guidance, pregnancy/breastfeeding advice, allergies, and key warnings.
  • Review interactions: if you take prescription medicines (including blood pressure tablets), ask a pharmacist first.
  • Choose a format you’ll stick with: capsules vs topical, plus a pack size that fits your routine.
  • Know when to escalate: sudden one-sided swelling, pain, warmth/redness, breathlessness or chest pain needs urgent assessment.

FAQs

What is edema (oedema)?

Edema is swelling caused by fluid building up in body tissues. It commonly affects the feet, ankles and lower legs, but can occur elsewhere depending on the cause.

What product is available in this edema category?

This page currently features Paroven 120 Capsules. Read the directions and suitability information carefully to confirm it’s appropriate for your symptoms and circumstances.

Are edema capsules the same as prescription water tablets (diuretics)?

No. Prescription diuretics are used under medical supervision for specific conditions. Over-the-counter products may be intended for symptom support and aren’t appropriate for everyone. If you think you need prescription treatment, speak to your GP.

Why do my ankles swell more at the end of the day?

Swelling can be more noticeable after long periods of standing or sitting because fluid can pool in the lower legs. If swelling is new, worsening, persistent, or one-sided, seek healthcare advice.

Can compression socks help with swollen ankles or legs?

Compression hosiery is commonly used to support circulation and may help some people with day-to-day leg discomfort. Correct sizing and the right compression level are important—ask a pharmacist if you’re unsure.

When should I speak to a pharmacist or GP about swelling?

If swelling is persistent or recurring, linked to a new medicine, or you have a long-term condition (such as heart, kidney or liver problems), get advice to rule out underlying causes and confirm what’s appropriate.

When should I seek urgent medical help for edema?

Seek urgent help if you have chest pain, sudden breathlessness, coughing blood, or sudden one-sided leg swelling with pain, warmth or redness. If you’re worried, get medical advice promptly.


Important: Edema can have many causes and may need medical assessment. Products in this category are for general support and do not replace diagnosis or treatment. Always read the label and use as directed. If symptoms are severe, unusual, worsening, or persistent—or if you are pregnant/breastfeeding, take regular medicines, or have a long-term condition—speak to a pharmacist or GP. In an emergency, call 999 or attend A&E.
