Medication information
Drug Information: Bometanide belongs to a group of drugs known as loop diuretics. Diuretics are drugs that increase the amount of urine excreted by the kidneys. They are often called “water” pills. Bometanide is used to treat water retention (edema or swelling), which is usually caused by heart failure.
Heart failure is a disease in which fluid accumulates in the body due to the heart not pumping blood around the body. Leakage of fluid from blood vessels leads to swelling of lung, foot or ankle tissue. These extra fluids can make you feel short of breath and tired in your legs and ankles. Bometanide prevents the formation of fluid by increasing the amount of urine in the kidneys.
