Which companies make bumetanide?
Bumetanide is a loop diuretic sold under brand names in some markets and as generics in others. The exact “manufacturer” can differ by country and by the specific strength/formulation (for example, tablets vs. oral solution), so the most reliable way to identify the current manufacturer is to check the label/packaging for the company listed as the marketing authorization holder or the firm that manufactures the product.
How to find the manufacturer on your bumetanide package (fastest way)
For any bumetanide product you have, look for:
- “Manufacturer” or “Manufactured by” on the box or bottle label
- “Marketed by” / “Marketing authorization holder”
- The country-specific product registration details on the pharmacy label
If you tell me your country and the dosage form/strength (e.g., “0.5 mg tablets” or “1 mg/5 mL oral solution”), I can narrow down the likely listed manufacturers for that specific product.
Are there multiple manufacturers (generic bumetanide)?
Yes. In most markets where bumetanide is generic, multiple companies can produce the same active ingredient, with products differing by excipients, packaging, and manufacturing site—even when the strength is identical.
If you’re searching for the “current” manufacturer for a pharmacy supply
If you’re trying to identify who is making the version your pharmacy will dispense, the supplier/pharmacy record is often more specific than general drug databases. The package insert and the actual dispensed bottle label should match the manufacturer for that lot.
Patents and drug exclusivity: does it affect who manufactures bumetanide?
Because bumetanide has long been off original brand exclusivity in most jurisdictions, today’s manufacturers are usually generic companies. Patent status tends to matter more for brand-new formulations or fixed-dose combinations than for older, widely genericized diuretics.
