About Bchol-75 SR Tablet

Bchol-75 SR Tablet belongs to the class of medications called ‘Cholinergic agents’ used to treat urinary retention (holding urine in the bladder) due to surgery, childbirth, or bladder muscle problems.

Bchol-75 SR Tablet contains ‘bethanechol’ that helps treat the inability to urinate by acting on the bladder muscles. It contracts the detrusor muscle (a bladder muscle) pushing the urine out of the bladder, thus starting the urination process and emptying it. 

Take Bchol-75 SR Tablet as prescribed. Your doctor will advise you on how often you take Bchol-75 SR Tablet based on your medical condition. You may experience some side effects such as abdominal discomfort, nausea, diarrhea, urgent desire to urinate, excessive salivation, flushing (reddening of the skin), and sweating. Consult a doctor if these side effects do not go away or worsen.

Do not take Bchol-75 SR Tablet if you are allergic to ‘bethanechol’ or any other contents. Before taking Bchol-75 SR Tablet , inform your doctor if you have undergone surgery, or previously been diagnosed with gastrointestinal (stomach and intestine) problems, urinary blockages, asthma, heart diseases, hyperthyroidism, seizures, Parkinson’s disease, or blood pressure problems (low or high). Also, tell your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. If Bchol-75 SR Tablet is prescribed, do not take alcohol while using Bchol-75 SR Tablet , as the condition may worsen due to increased risk of side effects.  It would be best if you refrained from activities that require you to stay alert such as driving or operating heavy machinery as Bchol-75 SR Tablet may cause dizziness.
