Comment:
Medication has been effective and easy to use. I seem to have a problem being more emotional than usual and wonder if it contains a hormone. I have been taking it for 2 months and have fewer problems but it's hard to tell if my bladder is emptying well. Just going less often and more comfortable.

Had Cystoscopy surgery Feb,13th,since then, I am unable to empty my bladder without cathe. Consequently, Bethanechol has been prescribed two days ago. The cathe should be taken out tomorrow(Tuesday)then I'll know for sure how well Bethanechol is working.
