Medicine information
Uses & overview
BETHNEVOID 50 is a pharmaceutical product from Steris Healthcare containing Bethanechol Chloride 50 mg Tablets. Bethanechol chloride is a cholinergic medicine that acts on muscarinic receptors to stimulate smooth muscle activity, particularly in the urinary bladder. Bethanechol may be prescribed by a healthcare professional to help manage certain types of urinary retention associated with reduced bladder muscle activity, when there is no mechanical obstruction of the urinary tract. Its suitability depends on the underlying cause of urinary retention and the patient's overall medical condition. BETHNEVOID 50 should be used only under medical supervision. A healthcare professional should assess the cause of urinary retention before treatment, as bethanechol is not suitable for every patient and must not be used when urinary outflow is mechanically obstructed. Consult your doctor for appropriate dosage, contraindications, and potential drug interactions.
How to use
Take BETHNEVOID 50 exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Follow the recommended dose, timing, and duration specified by your healthcare professional and the approved product leaflet. Bethanechol is commonly taken on an empty stomach, usually one hour before or two hours after meals, to reduce the risk of nausea and vomiting; follow the specific instructions provided for your prescription. Do not increase or change the dose without medical advice. Inform your doctor if you have asthma, heart disease, low blood pressure, stomach ulcers, thyroid problems, or any urinary or intestinal obstruction. Seek medical attention if you experience severe abdominal pain, breathing difficulty, fainting, or an unusually slow heartbeat.
