Bethanechol Chloride Tablets are a prescription medication used to help stimulate bladder muscle contraction in dogs and cats. This medication is commonly prescribed to treat urinary retention, especially when caused by issues such as bladder atony or neurological disorders. Bethanechol works by activating the bladder's smooth muscles to improve urine flow and bladder emptying.
In some cases, Bethanechol is also used in veterinary medicine to manage dysautonomia, a condition that affects the autonomic nervous system and can impact functions like digestion, heart rate, and urination. For best results, this medication is typically administered on an empty stomach and monitored closely for changes in urination and gastrointestinal activity.
