Overview Bethcol Tablet

Urinary retention, often post-surgical or postpartum, is treated with Bethcol Tablets. These tablets stimulate bladder muscle contractions, facilitating urination and improving physical activity. Always adhere to your prescribed dosage and schedule. While it can be taken on an empty stomach, maintain consistent timing. Swallow the tablet whole; do not crush or chew. Discontinuing treatment prematurely may worsen symptoms; consult your physician before stopping. Headache, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, irregular heartbeat, flushing, and sweating are potential side effects. Dizziness or drowsiness may occur; avoid driving or tasks requiring focus until the effects are known. Report persistent or bothersome side effects promptly. Before starting treatment, disclose all medications and pre-existing conditions, including pregnancy, as Bethcol is generally not recommended during pregnancy.
