Change from Furosemide to Bumetanide
I am on 80mg Furosemide in the morning and 20mg at lunch time (a quite large dose). I have recently been asked to stop the Furosemide and change to 1mg Bumetanide. Has anyone any experience of this medication they can share?

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

Spironolactone
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

Could an Old Drug Be a New Alzheimer’s Treatment?
Would it work on Parkinson's as well? May be a possibility? https://www.aarp.org/health/dementia/info-2021/pill-may-prevent-alzheimers.html An analysis showed that adults 65 and older who took bumetanide were 35 to 75 percent less likely to be diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease than those who took another

Pharmacological significance of extra-oral taste receptors
Every so often, I see a paper which seems odd enough to be interesting despite having no obvious application, at least not in the foreseeable future! [i]Eur J Pharmacol. 2021 Sep 5;174480. doi: 10.1016/j.ejphar.2021.174480. Online ahead of print.

Bumetanide in combination with Furosemide?
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

How much can anti-hypertensives affect GFR?
How much can medication affect a GFR? 62 yr old female, resistant hypertension since aged 18. Take ARBs, epleronone, bisoprolol, furosemide, amlodipine, amiloride. BP fantastically well controlled now for past 16 years. It was under medicated for years by my GP who said it was only white coat hypertension

Feeling a little lost.
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. End of November I was admitted to A&E unable to breath when lying down and was panting. (Had been getting breathless when walking) Pulse

This site keeps me sane! more or less!
When I was diagnosed with kidney failure I was warned about the problems in getting treatment right with heart failure complications. I thought I was doing so well but now I feel as if I'm on a see/saw toing and froing. My Bumetanide was reduced just half a tablet to give my kidneys a chance as I was
