Experiences with

Amiloride / Bumetanide

I’m a 75 year old in permanent AF. Started way back in 2008 but these days only mild symptoms and being treated by drugs. Since 2008 have had several cardio versions, a single ablation and an aortic valve replaced twice (2008 & 2020). I’m sure that my meds are a fairly standard ‘package’ - Warfarin,

Can anyone tell me if Bumetanide is taken on a permanent basis ? When my husband was discharged from hospital two months ago it was prescribed on the discharge sheet with a note -GP to monitor . Hubby’s legs were terribly swollen when he was admitted but are now almost back to normal and he is really

I was recently in hospital in Cyprus with pneumonia. Whilst there it was discovered that I had dangerously low potassium levels. That was dealt with and I lost 6 kgs of fluid in 5 days. On discharge I was told to stop taking Bumetanide, which I had been on for 11 years and go onto Spironolactone. It

My husband was on Furosemide with Spironlactone but swelling in legs not improving, on a phone call the Cardiologist changed the prescription to Bumetanide. That didn’t improve it, GP then reduced the Bumetanide and we thought he said to add Spironlactone back in, but no prescription came so we checked

Hi All, I've been lurking since getting my diagnosis of cirrhosis in July last year and I wanted to share my story.

I’m new to AF and could really do with a bit of support. I had been unwell for some time. Struggled all year to lose weight but zilch came off. I was getting bigger.

When I was diagnosed with kidney failure I was warned about the problems in getting treatment right with heart failure complications.

Lately I’ve been suffering from dizziness sharp pains in the head. I stopped taking bumetanide a week ago to see if the problem subsided and it has slightly. Told my doctor he sent me for blood tests and all came back clear but he has not contacted me. Does anyone else suffer from this..

I've had latest blood test results yesterday. All results slightly worse that is heart function, kidney function,thyroid function,and diabetes which I've just received the honorable label for! So this is now going to be a full time job. The first action has been to reduce my bumetanide to see if the
