"I had whole body swelling, caused by retaining water. I didn't have ankles, I had cankles, lol. I tried Lasix, and 2 weeks later, it was down a little. Ankles still swollen just as much, but hands were going back to normal. Upon going to my check-up, my doctor decided to try Bumex 2 mg. Within 1 week, I was back to normal. The only problem I had with these pills is they're large and sometimes get stuck in my throat."

"I got put on Bumex after Lasix stopped working. Bumex is reliable. It works with or without drinking a bunch of water. And the max daily dose is ten 1 mg doses, so there is lots of room to increase it for a day if you need to."

"At first, I was sick for 2 days. I was very dizzy, nauseous, and unsteady on my feet. I had to take a day sick leave. I couldn't believe the amount of water I had. Usually, I don't go to the loo that often, but on the first day after taking the pill, I couldn't believe that I was actually going to the loo so often and for so long. My swollen feet and ankles went down to normal. Afterwards, it really did become normal again, I was so chuffed. I do get dizzy at times, but I have low blood pressure, so I think it's caused by that. My doctor said I can't be on this tablet too long. He only gave me one month's supply. I dread thinking that I have to go off it again because I left it for 2 days to try and prolong the time I can use it. Big mistake! My feet and ankles were so swollen again. It felt as if they could burst. I also felt sick again, so I don't know if there is something else I could try."

"Absolutely an awful drug. Yes, it reduced the edema but caused serious cramping and muscle spasms in both legs and feet! Caused a serious hypokalemia problem. Makes it impossible to sleep at night due to the spasms and cramping."

"Absolute miracle of a drug. Lost 7 lbs in 1 night due to water retention and edema. My swelling was gone, and I was normal the next day. I did get dizzy at times, and my legs cramped more than once, but it was worth it! This drug WORKS."

"This medication worked well for a while. I took it for 3 and 1/2 months. It helped the edema and blood pressure. I lost 4 pounds of fluid right away. I had been on Lasix and clonidine but developed side effects. After taking Bumex for this long, I developed a sore upper mouth that felt burned. Swollen lips and tingling in my hands and feet. I also had itchy skin, especially on my back. My legs hurt too. I was taking 1/2 tabs, 0.5 mg daily. I do have a history of drug allergies. The drug was easy to use, and I wish I could have continued to use it. My blood pressure was good while taking this."

"Bumex worked great. Took down the swelling of my ankles after Furosemide stopped working. Only problem is that it's very hard on the kidneys, especially with a kidney transplant."

"I was given this instead of Lasix. The side effects are horrible. Every doctor who prescribes it should have to take it to experience this abomination of a drug."
