# You can take it with or without food.

# Bumetanide should be taken at the same times each day to maintain an even level in your blood. However, some people do not need to take it every day, especially those taking it for fluid retention.

# Because the medication increases urination, it is best to take it in the morning (to avoid getting up to use the bathroom throughout the night), unless your healthcare provider instructs you otherwise.

Hope the info helps?
