Bethanechol is a medication that stimulates your bladder to help you pee.
It is used in patients who are having trouble passing urine to empty their bladder.
Bethanechol is a parasympathomimetic choline carbamate that selectively stimulates muscarinic receptors without any effect on nicotinic receptors. Unlike acetylcholine, bethanechol is not hydrolyzed by cholinesterase and will therefore have a long duration of action. Bethanechol is sold under the brand names Duvoid (Roberts), Myotonachol (Glenwood), Urecholine, and Urocarb (Hamilton). The name bethanechol refers to its structure as the urethane of beta-methylcholine.
