Bethanechol Chloride is a synthetic cholinergic agent primarily used to stimulate bladder contraction in patients with urinary retention. It mimics the action of acetylcholine, promoting smooth muscle activity in the gastrointestinal and urinary tracts. This compound is particularly beneficial in treating postoperative or neurogenic urinary retention. Its mechanism of action enhances the bladder’s ability to empty, improving patient comfort and function. Ongoing research explores its broader therapeutic applications, including potential roles in gastrointestinal disorders, highlighting its importance in pharmacotherapy.
