Bethanechol

Description:
Bethanechol is a synthetic choline ester and a muscarinic agonist primarily used in the treatment of urinary retention and gastrointestinal atony. It mimics the action of acetylcholine, stimulating the parasympathetic nervous system. This compound is characterized by its ability to increase bladder muscle tone and promote peristalsis in the gastrointestinal tract. Bethanechol is typically administered orally or subcutaneously and is known for its relatively selective action on muscarinic receptors, which helps minimize side effects associated with nicotinic receptor activation. Its chemical structure includes a carbamate group, contributing to its stability and prolonged action compared to acetylcholine. Common side effects may include abdominal cramps, diarrhea, and increased salivation, reflecting its cholinergic activity. Due to its pharmacological profile, Bethanechol is contraindicated in conditions such as asthma or bradycardia, where increased secretions or heart rate reduction could pose risks. Overall, Bethanechol serves as an important therapeutic agent in managing specific urinary and gastrointestinal disorders.
