Description

Indications

Bethanecol is prescribed to address specific bladder issues, such as difficulty urinating or incomplete bladder emptying resulting from various factors like surgery or bladder muscle disorders. It functions by enhancing the contraction capability of the bladder muscle, consequently improving your capacity to urinate.

Uses and Dosage

Bethanechol is typically available in tablet form for oral administration. The usual dosing frequency for bethanechol is two to four times a day.

Ensure that you take bethanechol precisely as directed, avoiding both underuse and overuse beyond the prescribed frequency set by your doctor.

Bethanechol is typically administered at regular intervals throughout the day.

To prevent stomach discomfort, take this medication on an empty stomach, specifically at least one hour before or two hours after meals.

Side Effects

Some side effects may occur that usually do not need medical attention:

  • upset stomach
  • vomiting
  • dizziness
  • sweating or flushing
