What is a Generic Drug?
A generic drug is a copy of the brand-name drug with the same dosage, safety, strength, quality, consumption method, performance, and intended use. Before generics become available on the market, the generic company must prove it has the same active ingredients as the brand-name drug and works in the same way and in the same amount of time in the body.
The only differences between generics and their brand-name counterparts is that generics are less expensive and may look slightly different (eg. different shape or color), as trademarks laws prevent a generic from looking exactly like the brand-name drug.
Generics are less expensive because generic manufacturers don't have to invest large sums of money to develop a drug. When the brand-name patent expires, generic companies can manufacture a copy of the brand-name and sell it at a substantial discount.

Description
What is urecholine?
Chemical Name: BETHANECHOL (be-THAN-e-kole)The chemical name of Urecholine is Bethanechol. It is used to relieve the difficulties in urinating caused by surgery, drugs, or other factors. Bethanechol 25 mg is available for purchase online at Canada Pharmacy.
Directions
This medication is taken orally, 3-4 times in a day as prescribed by your healthcare provider. The amount of medication to be taken depends on your medical condition and the duration of the treatment. It may interact with other drugs, so make sure you tell your doctor about all the medications you are taking. It should be taken on an empty stomach to prevent nausea, vomiting, etc.
Ingredients
Each Urecholine 25 mg tablet for oral administration contains:

Your physician should know your complete medical history as this is very crucial especially of:

- Peritonitis
- Blockage of the bladder
- Vagotonia
- Hyperthyroidism
- Parkinson’s disease
If you suffer from any of the above, you may not be able to take Urecholine, or you may require an adjustment in your dosage.
In case of urinary retention, if the sphincter doesn’t relax when Urecholine contracts the bladder, the urine may be forced up from the ureter into the pelvis of the kidney. This may result in reflux infection if there is bacteriuria.
If you are pregnant, you should take Bethanechol chloride only when clearly needed since side effects of Urecholine in pregnant women are not clearly known.
