Glenmark Pharmaceuticals, a pharmaceutical company, has announced the launch of its generic version of Validus’ Bumex, which is called bumetanide injection. The drug is available in two forms: 1 mg/4 ml (0.25 mg/ml) single-dose vials and 2.5 mg/10 ml (0.25 mg/ml) multi-dose vials.
Bumex is used to reduce extra fluid in the body, a condition known as edema, which is often caused by conditions such as heart failure, liver disease, and other organ failures. Glenmark’s generic Bumex is a lower-cost alternative that is available to the market, providing options for individuals without benefits or on a more tight budget.
The Senior Vice President of business development portfolio, product launch and strategy at Glenmark, Vijay Raghavan, stated: that the launch of the generic Bumex vials “affirms our commitment to Glenmark’s continued focus on institutional business.”
