Bumex Information

Bumex Details (Brand and Generic)

CanadaPharmacyOnline.com currently offers the brand Bumex from Canada also called Burinex manufactured by Knight Therapeutics Inc. The generic Bumetanide comes from the United Kingdom manufactured by a different manufacturer.

Dosage

The brand Bumex is available in the strength of 1 mg and 5 mg tablets and the generic Bumetanide is available in the strength of 1 mg tablets.

Usage

Bumex (Bumetanide) is used to treat the swelling in your body that is caused by excess fluid in your tissues (edema) that happens as a result of congestive heart failure; liver disease (cirrhosis) or kidney disease, including nephrotic syndrome. Edema means your body is retaining water. It can lead to swollen feet or ankles or trouble breathing. Burinex works to remove the excess water by making your kidneys produce more urine. Children under 18 years old should not use Burinex. It is recommended that you take Burinex either on alternate days or for 3 to 4 days in a row and then wait 1 to 2 days before your next dose. Take Bumex exactly as your doctor has told you. Patients with liver failure should use Bumex with caution. It may be necessary to adjust your dose. Follow your doctor’s instructions. It is best to avoid taking this medication within 4 hours of your bedtime to prevent having to get up to urinate.
