Description

Bethanechol chloride is an ester of bethanechol and phosphorus oxychloride. It has been used as a cholinergic agent to treat urinary infections and other disorders in which the bladder muscles are not working properly. Bethanechol chloride functions by increasing the activity of the group P2 receptors in the hippocampus, which can increase cytosolic calcium levels. The drug is absorbed when applied topically or taken orally, with absorption being greater when applied topically. Bethanechol chloride has shown little toxicity in animals, but has been shown to cause headache, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain and cramps, dry mouth and throat, thirstiness, dizziness, drowsiness or fatigue after oral administration.
