Burinex

Burinex (Bumetanide) is used to treat the symptoms of fluid retention in patients who suffer from liver disease, kidney disorders, as well as those with congestive heart failure. It is effective in treating fluid retention by helping the body to produce more urine, which in turn helps the body to get rid of excess salt and water. This helps to relieve the symptoms of fluid retention, such as shortness of breath and swollen limbs. This medication may also be used to treat high blood pressure.

However, patients are advised to consult their physician before taking this medication, in order to determine the correct dosage required to treat their condition.
