Bumetanide

Generic name: Bumetanide
Brand names: Bumex

Why is Bumetanide prescribed?

Bumetanide is used to lower the amount of excess salt and water in your body by increasing the output of urine. It is prescribed in the treatment of edema, or fluid retention, associated with congestive heart failure and liver or kidney disease. It is also occasionally prescribed, along with other drugs, to treat high blood pressure.

Most important fact about Bumetanide

Bumetanide is a powerful drug. If taken in excessive amounts, it can severely decrease the levels of water and minerals, especially potassium, your body needs to function. Therefore, your doctor should monitor your dose carefully.

How should you take Bumetanide?

Bumetanide can increase the frequency of urination and may cause loss of sleep if taken at night. Therefore, if you are taking a single dose of Bumetanide daily, it should be taken in the morning after breakfast. If you take more than one dose a day, take the last dose no later than 6:00 PM.

--If you miss a dose...

Take the forgotten dose as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the one you missed and go back to your regular schedule. Never take 2 doses at the same time.

--Storage instructions...

Store at room temperature.

What side effects may occur?

Side effects cannot be anticipated. If any develop or change in intensity, inform your doctor as soon as possible. Only your doctor can determine if it is safe for you to continue taking Bumetanide.

  • More common side effects may include:
    Dizziness, headache, low blood pressure, muscle cramps, nausea
  • Signs of too much potassium loss are:
    Dry mouth, irregular heartbeat, muscle cramps or pains, unusual tiredness or weakness

Why should Bumetanide not be prescribed?

If you are sensitive to or have ever had an allergic reaction to Bumetanide or similar drugs such as Lasix, you should not take Bumetanide. Make sure your doctor is aware of any drug reactions you have experienced.

Special warnings about Bumetanide

While taking Bumetanide you may feel dizzy or light-headed or actually faint when getting up from a lying or sitting position. If getting up slowly does not help or if this problem continues, notify your doctor.

Possible food and drug interactions when taking Bumetanide

If Bumetanide is taken with certain other drugs, the effects of either could be increased, decreased, or altered. It is especially important to check with your doctor before combining Bumetanide with the following:

Blood pressure medications such as Vasotec and Tenormin
Indomethacin (Indocin) and other nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs
Probenecid (Benemid)

For the continuing control of edema, your doctor may tell you to take Bumetanide on alternate days or for 3 to 4 days at a time with rest periods of 1 to 2 days in between.
