About Urotone SR Tablet

Urotone 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.

Urotone 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 Urotone SR Tablet as prescribed. Your doctor will advise you on how often you take Urotone 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 Urotone SR Tablet if you are allergic to ‘bethanechol’ or any other contents. Before taking Urotone 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 Urotone SR Tablet is prescribed, do not take alcohol while using Urotone 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 Urotone SR Tablet may cause dizziness.

Medicinal Benefits

Urotone SR Tablet is a cholinergic agent used to treat urinary retention. It works by acting on the detrusor muscle (bladder muscle) to push the urine out of the bladder. The detrusor muscle contracts strong enough to start the micturition (the process of urination), thus emptying the bladder.

Directions for Use

Take Urotone SR Tablet 1 hour before or 2 hours after meals to avoid nausea or take it as advised by the doctor. Swallow the tablet as a whole with a glass of water. Do not break, crush or chew it.

Drug Warnings

Do not take Urotone SR Tablet if you are allergic to any contents of it. Before taking Urotone SR Tablet , inform your doctor if you had recent surgeries, stomach or intestinal ulcers, bladder obstruction, peritonitis (infection of the stomach lining), or inflammatory bowel disease (inflammation of the digestive tract). Use of Urotone SR Tablet in the above illnesses may worsen the condition. Urotone SR Tablet may cause atrial fibrillation (heart rhythm problems) in patients with hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid). Urotone SR Tablet may flare up the symptoms when used in patients with lung diseases such as asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder (COPD) as it can constrict the airways. Do not use Urotone SR Tablet in patients with heart diseases, hypotension (low blood pressure), bradycardia (low heart rate), seizures, and Parkinson’s disease. Do not consume alcohol as it can increase dizziness. Inform your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. To avoid dizziness from this medicine, stand up slowly from a sitting or lying position.

BETHANECHOL-75MGAcute bronchiolitis
Severe
How does the disease interact with Urotone SR Tablet:
Patients with reactive airway disease that is uncontrolled should not use cholinergic agonists. Acetylcholine hydrolysis is inhibited by cholinergic agonists. Acetylcholine's heightened action causes bronchospasm, increased bronchial secretions, and bronchial constriction.

How to manage the interaction:
This medicine is contraindicated in patients with uncontrolled reactive airway disease as it may cause constriction of the bronchi, increased bronchial secretions, and bronchospasm.
BETHANECHOL-75MGComplications and ill-defined descriptions of heart disease
Severe
How does the disease interact with Urotone SR Tablet:
In individuals with prominent bradycardia, hypotension, coronary artery disease, or conduction problems, the use of cholinergic agonists such as Urotone SR Tablet and pilocarpine is contraindicated.

How to manage the interaction:
Urotone SR Tablet is contraindicated in patients with bradycardia (slow heart rate), low/high blood pressure, coronary artery disease or conduction disorders.
BETHANECHOL-75MGParalytic ileus and intestinal obstruction without hernia
Severe
How does the disease interact with Urotone SR Tablet:
Patients with peptic ulcers, mechanical GI obstruction, acute GI inflammatory diseases, or urinary obstruction should not use cholinergic agonists. Gastric contractions, GI motility, and acid secretion may all increase as a result of cholinergic activity. Urine reflux may happen in people who have urine retention if the sphincter does not open up after cholinergic stimulation contracts the bladder. If there is bacteriuria, the urine from the bladder might reflux and infect the kidneys and upper urinary tract.

How to manage the interaction:
It is contraindicated in patients with peptic ulcers, mechanical gastrointestinal obstruction, acute gastrointestinal inflammatory conditions, or urinary obstruction.
BETHANECHOL-75MGThyrotoxicosis [hyperthyroidism]
Severe
How does the disease interact with Urotone SR Tablet:
Cholinergic medications may not be recommended for patients with hyperthyroidism. Patients who received a cholinergic agonist for hyperthyroidism experienced atrial fibrillation.

How to manage the interaction:
It is contraindicated in patients with hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid) as irregular, rapid heart rate has occurred in hyperthyroid patients administered with cholinergic agents.
BETHANECHOL-75MGParkinson disease
Severe
How does the disease interact with Urotone SR Tablet:
In patients with parkinsonism, the use of cholinergic agonists may be contraindicated. Acetylcholinergic effects are produced when cholinergic agonists directly stimulate the parasympathetic nervous system. Parkinson's disease symptoms could worsen.

How to manage the interaction:
It is contraindicated in patients with parkinsonism as this medicine may exacerbate the symptoms of Parkinson's disease.
BETHANECHOL-75MGConvulsions, not elsewhere classified
Severe
How does the disease interact with Urotone SR Tablet:
Patients with seizure disorders may not benefit from using cholinergic agonists. Convulsions have been associated with cholinomimetics.

How to manage the interaction:
This medicine is contraindicated in patients with seizure disorders as it has been associated with convulsions.
