What is a Generic Drug?

A generic drug is a copy of the brand-name drug with the same dosage, safety, strength, quality, consumption method, performance, and intended use. Before generics become available on the market, the generic company must prove it has the same active ingredients as the brand-name drug and works in the same way and in the same amount of time in the body.

The only differences between generics and their brand-name counterparts is that generics are less expensive and may look slightly different (eg. different shape or color), as trademarks laws prevent a generic from looking exactly like the brand-name drug.

Generics are less expensive because generic manufacturers don't have to invest large sums of money to develop a drug. When the brand-name patent expires, generic companies can manufacture a copy of the brand-name and sell it at a substantial discount.

    Medical Uses of Bumex

    Bumetanide 1 mg to reduce the swelling and fluid 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.
