Burinex 1mg Tablet 10s (Strip)

Burinex 1mg Tablet is a potent loop diuretic ("water pill"), with bumetanide as its active ingredient, used to treat fluid retention (oedema) caused by conditions such as congestive heart failure, liver disease, or kidney disease. If you're starting this medication, you're probably wondering how it fits into your daily routine — it is usually taken once daily, often in the morning or early evening, as the increased urine production can cause frequent bathroom visits. Bumetanide works by acting on the kidneys to increase urine output and remove excess fluid from the body. Because it can affect electrolyte levels, kidney function, and blood sugar, regular blood tests may be required during treatment. Some people experience dizziness, muscle cramps, or changes in blood electrolyte levels. It is important to take this medication exactly as prescribed, as incorrect use may lead to dehydration or electrolyte imbalance. Discuss your kidney and liver health with your doctor before starting this medicine.

The usual dose is 1mg once daily, but your doctor may adjust the dose depending on your response, degree of fluid retention, kidney function, and medical condition. Some patients may require alternate-day dosing or intermittent treatment schedules. Always follow your doctor's instructions and do not adjust the dose yourself.

Swallow the tablet with a glass of water, usually in the morning or early evening as directed by your doctor. If you miss a dose, take it when you remember unless it is close to your next scheduled dose or near bedtime. Avoid taking it too late in the day to reduce nighttime urination.

Burinex 1mg Tablet generally has a shelf life of around 2–3 years from the date of manufacture when stored correctly and unopened. Always check the expiry date printed on the packaging before use and avoid using tablets from damaged or tampered packaging.

• Bumetanide – a loop diuretic that acts on the kidneys to increase urine production and reduce excess fluid accumulation

• Known hypersensitivity to bumetanide, sulphonamide-derived medicines, or any ingredient in the formulation
• Hepatic encephalopathy, including coma
• Severe untreated electrolyte imbalance
• Anuria (complete absence of urine production)
• Previous serious skin reactions such as Stevens-Johnson syndrome or toxic epidermal necrolysis caused by bumetanide
• Caution advised in patients with severe kidney impairment or possible urinary tract obstruction

Burinex should not generally be combined with lithium because diuretics can reduce lithium clearance and increase the risk of lithium toxicity. Probenecid may reduce the diuretic effect of bumetanide. It may also increase the risk of toxicity from digitalis medicines if potassium levels become low and may enhance the blood-pressure-lowering effects of other antihypertensive medicines. Inform your doctor or pharmacist about all medications and supplements you are taking.
