Patient summary
Indicated for urinary retention, utilised to target bladder muscle receptors and support enhanced emptying in post-operative or neurogenic conditions.
Mechanism of action
Bethanechol is a muscarinic cholinergic agonist. It mimics the action of acetylcholine, stimulating the contraction of the bladder detrusor muscle, which facilitates emptying in conditions of urinary retention.
