Mechanism of Action

BUMETANIDE
Bumetanide interferes with renal camp and/or inhibits the sodium-potassium atpase pump. Bumetanide appears to block the active reabsorption of chloride and possibly sodium in the ascending loop of henle, altering electrolyte transfer in the proximal tubule. This results in excretion of sodium, chloride, and water and, hence, diuresis
POTASSIUM CHLORIDE
Supplemental potassium in the form of high potassium food or potassium chloride may be able to restore normal potassium levels
