A study testing a new nasal spray form of the medication bumetanide, a commonly prescribed diuretic, was found to be as safe and well-tolerated (meaning with no significant nasal irritation) in healthy adults in comparison to the oral and intravenous forms of the medication. The existing oral and intravenous forms of bumetanide are commonly prescribed for people with heart failure because they ease tissue swelling, a common cause of symptoms for people with heart failure.
