What Is Bumetanide 2mg?

Bumetanide is a loop diuretic available as a 2mg tablet and sold under the brand name Bumex. It works in the kidneys to increase the amount of salt and water removed from the body through urine. This helps reduce edema — swelling and fluid buildup — associated with congestive heart failure, liver disease, and kidney conditions such as nephrotic syndrome. Bumetanide is a potent medication, so your provider will determine the lowest effective dose and monitor your electrolytes and kidney function.
