About U-Void 25 Tablet 10's

U-Void 25 Tablet 10's 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.

U-Void 25 Tablet 10's 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 U-Void 25 Tablet 10's as prescribed. Your doctor will advise you on how often you take U-Void 25 Tablet 10's 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 U-Void 25 Tablet 10's if you are allergic to ‘bethanechol’ or any other contents.
