Bvoid DS Tablet 10's

Bvoid DS 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.

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

Bvoid DS 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.

Do not take Bvoid DS Tablet if you are allergic to any contents of it. Before taking Bvoid DS 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 Bvoid DS Tablet in the above illnesses may worsen the condition. Bvoid DS Tablet may cause atrial fibrillation (heart rhythm problems) in patients with hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid). Bvoid DS 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 Bvoid DS 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.
