WARNINGS
No information provided.
PRECAUTIONS
General
In urinary retention,
if the sphincter fails to
relax as bethanechol chloride
contracts the bladder, urine
may be forced up the ureter
into the kidney pelvis. If
there is bacteriuria, this may cause
reflux infection.
Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesls, Impairment of Fertility
Long-term studies in animals have not been performed to evaluate the
effects upon fertility,
mutagenic or carcinogenic
potential of bethanechol
chloride.
Pregnancy
Teratogenic Effects: Pregnancy Category C: Animal
reproduction studies have not been conducted with bethanechol chloride.
It is also not known whether bethanechol chloride
can cause fetal
harm when administered to a pregnant
woman or can affect
reproduction capacity.
Bethanechol chloride should
be given to a pregnant woman
only if clearly needed.
Nursing Mothers
It is not known whether this drug
is secreted in human milk. Because
many drugs are secreted in human
milk and because of the potential
for serious adverse reactions from bethanechol chloride
in nursing infants, a decision
should be made whether to discontinue nursing
or to discontinue the drug, taking
into account the importance of the drug
to the mother.
Pediatric Use
Safety and effectiveness
in pediatric patients have
not been established.
