BUMETANIDE SUMMARY
BUMETANIDE TABLETS USP
Bumetanide is a loop diuretic, available in 4 mL and 10 mL vials for intravenous or intramuscular injection as a sterile solution.
Bumetanide injection is indicated for the treatment of edema associated with congestive heart failure, hepatic and renal disease, including the nephrotic syndrome.
Almost equal diuretic response occurs after oral and parenteral administration of bumetanide. Therefore, if impaired gastrointestinal absorption is suspected or oral administration is not practical, bumetanide should be given by the intramuscular or intravenous route.
Successful treatment with bumetanide following instances of allergic reactions to furosemide suggests a lack of cross-sensitivity.
