Bumetanide
It belongs to the class of diuretic sulfonamide. It is a metanilamide derivative.
Action:
It interferes with renal cAMP and/or results in the inhibition of the sodium/potassium ATPase pump. It causes dilation of blood vessels in the kidneys and thus increases renal blood flow.
Pharmacokinetics:
Its half life is 1-1.5 hour. Its onset of action is 30 minutes to 90 minutes and duration of action is 4-6 hours.
Uses:
It is used as diuretic and can also be used in the treatment of edema associated with congestive heart failure. It is also used for Hepatic Cirrhosis.
Adverse effects:
Nausea, vomiting, rashes and abdominal pain
Interaction:
Furosemide and bumetanide weakly inhibit carbonic anhydrase.
