Bumetanide is a diuretic drug used to treat edema (fluid retention) associated with congestive heart failure, cirrhosis of the liver, and renal disease. It is also used to treat hypertension (high blood pressure). Bumetanide works by increasing the amount of salt and water that the kidneys remove from the blood, which helps reduce the amount of fluid in the body. It is available in tablet and injectable forms. Bumetanide is a commonly prescribed cardiovascular drug, as it is effective in treating edema and hypertension. It is generally well tolerated, with few side effects. However, it can cause low blood pressure, electrolyte imbalances, and dehydration. The bumetanide market is highly competitive, with several major pharmaceutical companies offering products. Some of the companies in the market include Pfizer, Merck, Novartis, Sanofi, and GlaxoSmithKline. Show Less Read more
