About U-Void 50 Tablet 1

U-Void 50 Tablet 1 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 50 Tablet 1 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 50 Tablet 1 as prescribed. Your doctor will advise you on how often you take U-Void 50 Tablet 1 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 50 Tablet 1 if you are allergic to ‘bethanechol’ or any other contents. Before taking U-Void 50 Tablet 1, 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 U-Void 50 Tablet 1 is prescribed, do not take alcohol while using U-Void 50 Tablet 1, 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 U-Void 50 Tablet 1 may cause dizziness.
