Bethanechol
Bethanechol is a direct muscarinic receptor agonist that stimulates detrusor muscle contraction and can support bladder emptying in selected non-obstructive urinary retention.
Key points
- Bethanechol mimics parasympathetic acetylcholine effects at muscarinic receptors.
- Its cholinergic effects can involve sweating, abdominal cramps, diarrhoea and slower heart rate.
Urecholine connects bethanechol with urinary retention in bladder health. The distinction between non-obstructive retention and a physical urinary blockage is clinically important because stimulating the bladder against an obstruction can be harmful.
