Urinide Tablet 1 mg

Urinide Tablet 1 mg Uses, Dosage, Side Effects, Food Interaction and all others data.

Urinide Tablet 1 mg is a loop diuretic with a rapid onset and short duration of action. Pharmacological and clinical studies have shown that 1 mg Urinide Tablet 1 mg has a diuretic potency equivalent to approximately 40 mg furosemide. The major site of Urinide Tablet 1 mg action is the ascending limb of the loop of Henle.

Urinide Tablet 1 mg inhibits sodium reabsorption in the ascending limb of the loop of Henle. Reabsorption of chloride in the ascending limb is also blocked by Urinide Tablet 1 mg.

Urinide Tablet 1 mg may have an additional action in the proximal tubule. Since phosphate reabsorption takes place largely in the proximal tubule, phosphaturia during Urinide Tablet 1 mg induced diuresis is indicative of this additional action. This proximal tubular activity does not seem to be related to an inhibition of carbonic anhydrase. Urinide Tablet 1 mg does not appear to have a noticeable action on the distal tubule.

Urinide Tablet 1 mg is a loop diuretic of the sulfamyl category to treat heart failure. It is often used in patients in whom high doses of furosemide are ineffective. There is however no reason not to use bumetanide as a first choice drug. The main difference between the two substances is in bioavailability. Urinide Tablet 1 mg has more predictable pharmacokinetic properties as well as clinical effect. In patients with normal renal function, bumetanide is 40 times more effective than furosemide.

Uses

Urinide Tablet 1 mg is used for the treatment of edema associated with congestive heart failure, hepatic and renal disease, including the nephrotic syndrome.

Urinide Tablet 1 mg is also used to associated treatment for these conditions: Edema

How Urinide Tablet 1 mg works

Urinide Tablet 1 mg interferes with renal cAMP and/or inhibits the sodium-potassium ATPase pump. Urinide Tablet 1 mg 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.

Dosage

Urinide Tablet 1 mg dosage

Oral1 mg in the morning , repeated after 6-8 hours if necessary, In severe cases , 5 mg daily increased by 5 mg every 12-24 hours according to response. Elderly , 500 micrograms daily may be sufficient.

ParenteralBy IV Injection : 1-2 mg, repeated after 20 minutes if necessary. Elderly, 500 micrograms (1 ml of Bumecard) daily may be sufficient.

By IV Infusion : 2-5 mg over 30-60 minutes.Elderly, 500 micrograms (1 ml of Bumecard) daily may be sufficient.

By IM Injection : 1 mg initially then adjusted according to response , Elderly 500 micrograms (1 ml of Bumecard) daily may be sufficient.

Paediatric use: Safety and effectiveness in paediatric patients below the age of 18 have not been established.

Side Effects

Muscle cramps (1.1%), dizziness (1.1%), hypotension (0.8%), headache (0.6%), nausea (0.6%)Others (ECG changes (0.4 %), musculoskeletal pain (0.2 %), Abdominal pain (0.2 %), renal failure (0.1%), thrombocytopenia (0.2%) etc.

Toxicity

Overdosage can lead to acute profound water loss, volume and electrolyte depletion, dehydration, reduction of blood volume and circulatory collapse with a possibility of vascular thrombosis and embolism. Electrolyte depletion may be manifested by weakness, dizziness, mental confusion, anorexia, lethargy, vomiting and cramps. Treatment consists of replacement of fluid and electrolyte losses by careful monitoring of the urine and electrolyte output and serum electrolyte levels.

Precaution

Serum potassium should be measured periodically and potassium supplements or potassium sparing diuretics added if necessary.

Interaction

Lithium: Lithium should generally not be given with diuretics because they reduce its renal clearance and add a high risk of lithium toxicity.

Probenecid: should not be administered concurrently with Urinide Tablet 1 mg.

Indomethacin: Concurrent therapy with Urinide Tablet 1 mg is not recommended.

Antihypertensives: Urinide Tablet 1 mg 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 Urinide Tablet 1 mg to have no effect on warfarin metabolism.

Food Interaction

  • Take with food. Food reduces irritation.

Urinide Tablet 1 mg Alcohol interaction

[Moderate]

Many psychotherapeutic and CNS-active agents (e.g., anxiolytics, sedatives, hypnotics, antidepressants, antipsychotics, opioids, alcohol, muscle relaxants) exhibit hypotensive effects, especially during initiation of therapy and dose escalation.

Coadministration with antihypertensives and other hypotensive agents, in particular vasodilators and alpha-blockers, may result in additive effects on blood pressure and orthostasis.

Caution and close monitoring for development of hypotension is advised during coadministration of these agents.

Some authorities recommend avoiding alcohol in patients receiving vasodilating antihypertensive drugs.

Patients should be advised to avoid rising abruptly from a sitting or recumbent position and to notify their physician if they experience dizziness, lightheadedness, syncope, orthostasis, or tachycardia.

Elimination Route

Urinide Tablet 1 mg is completely absorbed (80%), and the absorption is not altered when taken with food. Bioavailability is almost complete.

Half Life

60-90 minutes

Clearance

  • 0.2 - 1.1 mL/min/kg [preterm and full-term neonates with respiratory disorders]
  • 2.17 mL/min/kg [neonates receiving bumetanide for volume overload]
  • 1.8 +/- 0.3 mL/min/kg [geriatric subjects]
  • 2.9 +/- 0.2 mL/min/kg [younger subjects]

Elimination Route

Oral administration of carbon-14 labeled Bumex to human volunteers revealed that 81% of the administered radioactivity was excreted in the urine, 45% of it as unchanged drug. Biliary excretion of Bumex amounted to only 2% of the administered dose.

Pregnancy & Breastfeeding use

Pregnancy: Pregnancy Category C : There are no adequate and well controlled studies in pregnant woman .Lactation: It is not known wheather this drug is excreted in human milk.

Contraindication

Loop diuretics should be avoided in severe hypokalaemia, severe hyponatraemia, anuria, comatose and precomatose states associated with liver cirrhosis and in renal failure.

Special Warning

Paediatric use: Safety and effectiveness in paediatric patients below the age of 18 have not been established.

Acute Overdose

Treatment consists of replacement of fluid and electrolyte losses by careful monitoring of the urine and electrolyte output and serum electrolyte levels.

Storage Condition
