What is Burinex (Bumetanide) used for?

Burinex (Bumetanide) is an oral diuretic medication used to treat oedema caused by liver cirrhosis, heart failure, or kidney failure. It operates by preventing sodium absorption in the kidneys to draw excess water out of the body to be eliminated through urination. This action may also reduce hypertension by allowing easier blood flow through the veins. Your doctor may prescribe this medication for the treatment of other unlisted conditions, as well.

How should I use Burinex (Bumetanide)?

Burinex (Bumetanide) is usually taken once or twice each day depending on your age, weight, current health, the condition being treated, and the severity of your symptoms. These should be swallowed with a full glass of water and may be taken with or without food, although a snack or meal is suggested prior to use if you experience nausea. Do not split or crush the tablets before each use to avoid unintentionally destroying or altering the effects of their contents. Ask your doctor or pharmacist any questions you have about the medicine to ensure the correct usage.
