Bethanechol is sold under the brand names Duvoid (Roberts), Myotonachol (Glenwood), Urecholine (Merck Frosst) and Urocarb (Hamilton). The name bethanechol refers to its structure as the urethane of beta-methylcholine. Contents ...

Has anyone taken bethanechol 25 mg. 2 x a day.for bladder spasms ,how long did you have to take bethanechol before it worked.did it cause leg cramps, lower back pain and swelling? ## Hi Mitzi, I went ahead and looked up the possible side effects of bethanechol on several different webpages, however I found it odd that none of them listed any of those symptoms in particular. If you have been taking bethanechol and noticed anything unusual or bothersome like that I would strongly encourage you to contact your doctor about it as soon as possible to determine whether the symptoms are in fact related to bethanechol. Your doctor may recommend trying a different medication altogether if the symptoms don't improve on their own. ## Thank you for your reply. I have Systemic Lupus so on other ...

I have a round yellow pill with Pliva and 325 printed on the same side. What is it? ## Hello. The pill in question is Bethanechol Chloride. It stimulates parasympathetic nervous system, increasing tone to muscles of urinary bladder, stimulates gastric motility and tone and may restore rhythmic peristalsis. Hope this information was helpful, have a nice day! ## Nobody, please, always include the dosage amount when providing an identiciation for someone, this is very important. Just to add that information, this tablet is 25mgs. And to simplify that rather techinical description for the layman, it is used to help treat urinary incontinence by improving the bladder muscles. ## Verwon, what? and miss you stopping by to check-up on me every time I post something and trying to help people out...
