Generic Name: Bethanechol
Brand Name: Bethanechol Chloride
Did not achieve result of emptying bladder completely and reducing number of wake up events. Doctor increased to dosage events every 8 hours, but still very unsatisfied result.
I'm taking this for gastroparesis (including esophageal and intestinal). This, along with AciPhex™, has helped greatly with my GI symptoms. I'm not crazy about the form of the drug: it's an uncoated tablet, and can stick a bit going down. It's a simple annoyance, not a big problem. I'm content with it because it works. OTOH... due to overall muscle degeneration overall, it keeps me running to the w/c all the time, because the primary prescribed use is for increased muscle effectiveness for the bladder. I'd just as soon not have that!
My doctor recommended this drug for dry mouth a side effect from Elival
jUST MADE ME WNAT TO URINATE MORE AND DID NOT HELP WITH MY REFLUX IN ANY WAY.
Works great, but I get dizzy from time to time.
I urinate every 2 hours on this drug. Very inconvience for me. Limits my activity.
Medication has been effective and easy to use. I seem to have a problem being more emotional than usual and wonder if it contains a hormone. I have been taking it for 2 months and have fewer problems but it's hard to tell if my bladder is emptying well. Just going less often and more comfortable.
wish the doc had told me the intended use for this medication. Had to look it up to see what it is supposed to do. I quess it has had the desired effect. I will have to wait to see the longer i am on this medication
Had Cystoscopy surgery Feb,13th,since then, I am unable to empty my bladder without cathe. Consequently, Bethanechol has been prescribed two days ago. The cathe should be taken out tomorrow(Tuesday)then I'll know for sure how well Bethanechol is working.
Medication caused severe salivation, drop in blood pressure, dehydration, I was cold, but perspiring, eventually caused me to pass out. Fortunately, I was in the hospital at the time or I would have died.
bad headache, felling stop up in nose
BEING USED TO URGE BLADDER TO ENCOURAGE EMPTYING BLADDER. DOES NOT SEEM TO DO THE JOB
I just started this 5 days ago and its working great.
After pelvic surgery over 3 months ago to correct a prolapsed bladder, I am unable to urinate However, when I take the Bethanechol, I can. Without it, I have to use self-catheterization, which is not my favorite thing to do.
After Prostate Cancer surgery the Bethanachol help me to urinate on my own again.
