What is bethanechol chloride and how does it work?
Bethanechol chloride is a cholinergic (muscarinic) agonist that stimulates the bladder muscle to contract. Tablets are indicated for acute postoperative and postpartum nonobstructive (functional) urinary retention, and for urinary retention caused by neurogenic bladder atony (a bladder muscle that isn't contracting normally). It works by mimicking the natural nerve signal that tells the bladder to empty.
Comparing prices for bethanechol chloride
Bethanechol chloride is available as a generic tablet. Since it's an older, primarily generic medicine, there's no manufacturer savings card tied to it, and cash prices are set independently by each pharmacy. Rx.com compares prices across more than 60,000 U.S. pharmacies so you can find a lower cash price nearby, whether or not you have insurance.
When alternatives are considered
Bethanechol is used specifically for urinary retention linked to a bladder that isn't contracting properly — it is not appropriate when retention is caused by a physical blockage (an obstruction), and your doctor will rule that out first. There isn't a direct substitute that works the same way; management otherwise typically centers on catheterization or addressing the underlying cause. Talk with your doctor or urologist about what's appropriate for your specific situation.
Safety information
Bethanechol should not be used if there's any question about the strength or integrity of the bladder or gastrointestinal wall, or in people with conditions such as active bronchial asthma, peptic ulcer disease, hyperthyroidism, severe bradycardia or low blood pressure, coronary artery disease, epilepsy, or Parkinson's disease. It can also interact seriously with ganglionic blocking agents, causing a dangerous drop in blood pressure. This isn't a complete list of warnings or contraindications; your doctor will review your full health history before prescribing it.
