BETHNEVOID 25 

Bethanechol Chloride (25mg)

Introduction

Bethanechol Chloride is a medication used to treat certain bladder and urinary tract conditions by stimulating the bladder muscle to contract. Marketed under the brand name BETHNEVOID 25, each tablet contains 25mg of Bethanechol Chloride. This medication is particularly useful in managing urinary retention, especially postoperatively and postpartum, as well as conditions where the bladder does not empty properly. Bethanechol works by mimicking the action of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter that helps in the contraction of smooth muscles.

Uses

Bethanechol Chloride (25mg) is used for various medical conditions, including:

• Urinary Retention: It is used to treat urinary retention that occurs due to surgery, childbirth, or other conditions that affect bladder muscle contraction.
• Neurogenic Bladder: It helps manage neurogenic bladder, a condition where the bladder does not empty properly due to nerve damage.
• Atonic Bladder: It is used to stimulate bladder contractions in patients with an atonic bladder, where the bladder muscles have lost tone and cannot contract effectively.
• Gastroesophageal Reflux: Although less common, it is sometimes used off-label to increase the tone of the lower esophageal sphincter and reduce symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux.

Dosage

The dosage of Bethanechol Chloride (25mg) should be individualized based on the patient’s medical condition, response to treatment, and tolerance. Proper administration is crucial to ensure the effectiveness of the medication and to minimize potential side effects:

1. Administration: Take the tablet orally, usually three to four times a day, 1 hour before or 2 hours after meals to avoid nausea and vomiting.
2. Starting Dose: The typical starting dose is 10-25mg, which may be gradually increased based on the patient’s response to treatment.
3. Maintenance Dose: The maintenance dose usually ranges from 25mg to 50mg taken three to four times daily.
4. Missed Dose: If a dose is missed, take it as soon as you remember. If it is close to the time for the next dose, skip the missed dose and resume your regular schedule. Do not take a double dose to make up for the missed one.
5. Special Considerations: Patients with asthma, epilepsy, or hyperthyroidism should use Bethanechol with caution, and those with conditions like bradycardia or hypotension may require dosage adjustments and careful monitoring.

Side Effects

Like all medications, Bethanechol may cause side effects. While many people do not experience significant side effects, it is important to be aware of them:

• Common Side Effects: These may include abdominal discomfort, increased salivation, sweating, flushing, nausea, and diarrhea.
• Serious Side Effects: Rarely, serious side effects such as severe dizziness, fainting, shortness of breath, chest pain, and irregular heartbeat may occur. Patients should be monitored for signs of these serious conditions.
• Allergic Reactions: Although rare, allergic reactions such as rash, itching, swelling, severe dizziness, and difficulty breathing may occur. Seek immediate medical attention if any signs of an allergic reaction appear.
• Precautions: Bethanechol should be used with caution in individuals with a history of asthma, epilepsy, hyperthyroidism, bradycardia, or hypotension. It is contraindicated in patients with mechanical obstruction of the gastrointestinal or urinary tract.

Price

The price of BETHNEVOID 25 can vary depending on the region and the pharmacy. In India, the average cost for a pack of 10 tablets ranges from INR 100 to INR 300. It is advisable to check with local pharmacies or online medical stores for the most accurate pricing and availability.
