Bethanechol Chloride

Urinary analgesic

Description

It is a muscarinic agonist used to treat postoperative and postpartum nonobstructive functional urinary retentin and neurogenic atony of the bladder with retention.

Mechanism of action

It stimulates the para sympathetic nervous system, thereby increasing the tone of the detrussor urinary muscle. This produces a strong enough contraction to initiate micturition and empty the urinary bladder.
