Bumax

People who experience fluid retention as a result of certain conditions can often benefit from using Bumex® (bumetanide), a type of diuretic that is available by prescription. The medication works by increasing the amount of water and salt the kidneys remove from the blood. Most people tolerate the drug quite well; however, side effects are possible, such as electrolyte imbalance, dizziness, and headaches. Bumex comes in tablet form, and is usually taken once a day.
