Bumex (bumetanide)

Indications

• Use Bumex to treat fluid retention (edema) in patients with congestive heart failure, liver disease, or kidney disorders.
• You can use it to manage fluid buildup associated with pulmonary edema.
• It helps reduce swelling and improve symptoms by removing excess fluid from the body.

Dosage and Administration

• Take Bumex exactly as prescribed by your doctor, usually once or twice daily.
• Swallow the tablet whole with a full glass of water.
• You can take Bumex with or without food.
• Follow your doctor’s instructions regarding the dose and timing and ensure regular monitoring of your condition.

• Avoid taking Bumex late in the day to prevent frequent urination during the night.
• Do not stop taking Bumex suddenly without consulting your doctor, even if you feel well.
• Avoid drinking alcohol excessively, as it can increase certain side effects and worsen your condition.
