Bvoid DS Tablet 10's

Bvoid DS Tablet is used to treat urinary retention (holding urine in the bladder) due to surgery, childbirth, or bladder muscle problems. It contains Bethanechol, which 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. It may cause side effects such as abdominal discomfort, nausea, diarrhea, urgent desire to urinate, excessive salivation, flushing (reddening of the skin), and sweating. Before taking this medicine, you should tell your doctor if you are allergic to any of its components or if you are pregnant/breastfeeding, and about all the medications you are taking and pre-existing medical conditions.
