What is Bumetanide?
Bumetanide is a High Blood pressure medicine that belongs to a class of medications called loop diuretics.

It acts at various levels on the functioning of the kidney, causing diuresis (increased of the amount of urine eliminated) and increased elimination of sodium, potassium and other electrolytes in the urine, by inhibiting its reabsorption by the body. It also produces a renal vasodilation, with decreased renal vascular resistance that contributes to diuretic effect.
