Bethanechol, marketed under the brand name Urecholine, is a medication primarily used to treat urinary retention by stimulating the bladder muscles to contract, thereby facilitating urination. It works as a cholinergic agonist, mimicking the action of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine, which enhances muscle activity in the bladder and gastrointestinal tract. It is often prescribed in cases where bladder function is impaired, such as after surgery or in certain medical conditions.
