Frequently asked questions about bumetanide

Bumetanide is a prescription medication used to treat edema (fluid retention) caused by medical problems. Bumetanide increases urine flow, which can help the kidneys get rid of excess fluid and salt in the body.

Bumetanide is prescribed for the treatment of edema (fluid retention) in the body. Edema is the medical term for swelling caused by fluid trapped in the body’s tissue. This swelling is often a symptom, not a condition, caused by diverse medical problems.

Common causes of edema include:

  • Sitting or standing too long
  • Venous insufficiency (weakness or damage to the veins in the leg)
  • Congestive heart failure
  • Kidney disease & damage
  • Thyroid diseases
  • Liver damage (cirrhosis)
  • Medication such as blood pressure medication, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medication (NSAIDs), steroids, diabetes medication
  • Allergic reactions
  • High salt diet
  • Pregnancy

Edema frequently affects the hands, arms, legs, feet, and ankles.

Common symptoms of edema include:

  • Swelling in the affected area
  • The skin over the affected area looks stretched out or shiny
  • The skin holds a dimple after pressure is applied to it for several seconds
  • Difficulty breathing (if the edema is in lung tissue)
  • Difficulty with movement
  • Swelling in the abdomen
Bumetanide is classified as a diuretic (also known as a water pill). These drugs help your kidneys release extra salt and water into the urine – lowering the overall levels of fluid being held in the body. Not only does this help reduce the symptoms of edema, but it can also help lower blood pressure by freeing up blood vessels to allow for greater blood flow.

Bumetanide has been shown to cause some side effects, however, this medication is generally well tolerated. The most common side effect of diuretic medication is more frequent urination.

Other effects caused by taking bumetanide include:

  • Dizziness
  • Dehydration
  • Stomach pain
  • Diarrhea

If these adverse reactions do not go away within a few days, talk to your health care provider. If you experience difficulty breathing, skin rash, fever, or unusual bleeding/ bruising while taking bumetanide, seek medical attention immediately.

As with all prescription medication, be sure to inform the prescribing doctor about any medical conditions you have been previously diagnosed with and any medication/ supplements you are currently taking before starting treatment with bumetanide. Bumetanide can interact with other forms of medication and substances, causing potentially serious side effects. In addition, let your doctor know if you are pregnant or plan on becoming pregnant. Do not breastfeed while taking this medication.

Bumetanide is commonly supplied as an oral tablet. Adults are generally prescribed .5-2 mg per day. Your health care provider may increase this dosage depending on the severity of your condition and how well you are tolerating the medication.

Bumetanide is currently only available via prescription. This means the use of this drug must be authorized by a licensed health care provider.
