Bumex (bumetanide) and Lasix (furosemide) are brand-name diuretics used to decrease excess fluid in the body. Also known as edema, this excess accumulation of fluid often occurs as a result of certain conditions, such as heart failure, kidney disease, and liver disease. Bumex and Lasix can help reduce excess fluid and alleviate symptoms such as shortness of breath and swelling in the arms or legs.

Bumex and Lasix work by blocking the reabsorption of sodium and chloride in the kidney tubules, including the loop of Henle. As loop diuretics, Bumex and Lasix block fluid retention and increase the output of urine (diuresis). These drugs are also commonly called “water pills.”
