Bumetanide (nasal)

Lithium may reduce renal clearance of bumetanide and add a high risk of lithium toxicity. ( 7 ) Probenecid reduces both the natriuresis and hyperreninemia. ( 7 ) Indomethacin blunts the increase in urine volume and sodium excretion. ( 7 ) Drugs with ototoxic potential: avoid parenteral bumetanide in patients receiving aminoglycoside antibiotics. ( 7 ) Drugs with nephrotoxic potential: the simultaneous administration of ENBUMYST with drugs of nephrotoxic potential should be avoided. ( 7 ) Antihypertensive effects may be potentiated by bumetanide. ( 7 )

7.1 Effects of Other Drugs on Bumetanide Lithium Lithium should generally not be given with diuretics (such as bumetanide) because they reduce its renal clearance and add a high risk of lithium toxicity. Probenecid Probenecid should not be administered concurrently with bumetanide. Pretreatment with probenecid reduces both the natriuresis and hyperreninemia produced by bumetanide. This antagonistic effect of probenecid on bumetanide natriuresis is not due to a direct action on sodium excretion but is probably secondary to its inhibitory effect on renal tubular secretion of bumetanide. Indomethacin Concurrent therapy with bumetanide is not recommended.

Indomethacin blunts the increases in urine volume and sodium excretion seen during bumetanide treatment and inhibits the bumetanide-induced increase in plasma renin activity.

7.2 Effects of Bumetanide on Other Drugs Drugs with Ototoxic Potential [ see Warnings and Precautions (5.3) ] Especially in the presence of impaired renal function, the use of parenterally administered bumetanide in patients to whom aminoglycoside antibiotics are also being given should be avoided, except in life-threatening conditions. Drugs with Nephrotoxic Potential Monitor renal function. Concomitant use may worsen renal function and increase the risk of nephrotoxicity. Antihypertensives Bumetanide may potentiate the effect of various antihypertensive drugs, necessitating a reduction in the dosage of these drugs.

Digoxin Interaction studies in humans have shown no effect on digoxin blood levels. Anticoagulants Interaction studies in humans have shown bumetanide to have no effect on warfarin metabolism or on plasma prothrombin activity.

8.1 Pregnancy Risk Summary The available data on bumetanide use in pregnant women from scientific review publications have not identified a drug-associated risk of major birth defects, miscarriage, or other adverse maternal or fetal outcomes. Untreated congestive heart failure, hepatic disease such as cirrhosis and chronic kidney disease can lead to adverse outcomes for the mother and fetus (see Clinical Considerations ). In animal reproduction studies, no malformations were observed with oral administration of bumetanide to pregnant rats and rabbits during organogenesis at doses approximately 485 times and equivalent to a human dose of 2 mg once daily, respectively (see Data ) .

The background risk for major birth defects and miscarriage for the indicated populations is unknown. All pregnancies have a background risk of birth defect, loss, or other adverse outcomes. In the U.S. general population, the background risk of major birth defects and miscarriage in the clinically recognized pregnancies is 2 to 4% and 15 to 20%, respectively. Clinical Considerations Disease-Associated Maternal and/or Embryo/Fetal Risk Pregnant women with congestive heart failure are at increased risk for pre-term birth. Stroke volume and heart rate increase during pregnancy, increasing cardiac output, especially during the first trimester.

Clinical classification of heart disease may worsen with pregnancy and lead to maternal death and/or stillbirth. Closely monitor pregnant patients for destabilization of their heart failure. Pregnant women with symptomatic cirrhosis generally have poor outcomes including hepatic failure, variceal hemorrhage, pre-term delivery, fetal growth restriction and maternal death. Outcomes are worse with coexisting esophageal varices. Pregnant women with cirrhosis of the liver should be carefully monitored and managed accordingly.

Chronic kidney disease in pregnancy increases the risk for maternal hypertension and preeclampsia, miscarriage, preterm delivery, polyhydramnios, still birth, and low birth weight infants. Data Animal Data Bumetanide has been shown to be nonteratogenic, but it has a slight embryocidal effect in rats when given at a dose approximately 485 times and in rabbits at a dose equivalent to a 2 mg/day human dose, based on body surface area (BSA). In one study, moderate growth retardation and increased incidence of delayed ossification of sternebrae were observed in rats at oral doses of 100 mg/kg/day, approximately 485 times a 2 mg/day human dose, based on BSA.

These effects were associated with maternal weight reductions noted…
