Medical Uses of Bumex
Chemical Name: BUMETANIDE (byoo-MET-a-nide)
Bumex (Bumetanide)
Bumex belongs to the class of loop diuretics. This indicates that these drugs act by helping the body get rid of extra water and salt present in it. These are also called the “water pills,” as they cause more urine formation. Bumetanide is used to reduce edema, i.e., extra fluid in the body. Edema may be caused by congestive he, art failure, liver disease and kidney disease.
Bumex helps by reducing the effects of edema like shortness of breath and swelling of the arms, legs, and abdomen. Bumex is also used in conjunction with other drugs in the treatment of hypertension.
You can buy Bumex medicine from Canada Pharmacy and get it delivered right to your doorstep.
