My baby's saving grace
From UndisclosedComments about Bethanechol Chloride (Generic)This medication has been my baby's saving grace. He is incontinent due to a spinal cord injury. This medicine helps the muscles of his bladder contract to help him go number one. Without it, he has frequent UTI's. We love this medicine and we love how quickly vetexdirect is able to get this to us! We have also spoke with customer service a few times and they have also been wonderful! -
My Baby's Saving Grace Medicine!
From UndisclosedComments about Bethanechol Chloride (Generic) 5mg TabletWe picked this product because it really helps our boy Jefferson with his bladder. He has been an incontinent pup since he was a baby due to a spinal cord injury. We believe the tail was stepped on. He will be in diapers for the rest of his life! This medicine helps the muscles of his bladder contract to help him go number one! Without it, he has frequent UTI's and blood in his urine. We try to avoid these at all costs as that means frequent vet visits and antibiotics for Jeffy. -
Good Results
From undisclosedComments about Bethanechol Chloride (Generic)Prescription arrived on time. Seems to be very good, although the pill is larger than the one from my regular pharmacy. My dog is taking without spitting it out and it is doing the job. -

Yes I will purchase again
From Washington PaComments about Bethanechol Chloride (Generic)I give this two hrs prior to meals; MUST be given on empty stomach. It otherwise nauseated my golden. He's on maintence dose only. Bonus seems to aid in eliminating stools as well. He's always had a sluggish intestinal tract and bethanechol makes him much more regular. -
excellent product
From NCComments about Bethanechol Chloride (Generic)i have a cat with spina bifida, he is totally incontinent. with this medication he can actually contract his bladder and pee a little bit on his own which makes a huge difference. When i am expressing him he can help. without this medication expressing his bladder is much more difficult and he has no ability to pee on his own. emptying the bladder is crucial in controlling/preventing urinary tract infections so this is vital. -
Worth every penny
From Missouri, USAComments about Bethanechol Chloride (Generic)I buy this from Vetrxdirect because of the quality, the price, and the quick service. My sweet elderly rescue pug Bandit has to take it every day for his bladder to work as it is supposed to. As you can see in the photo, he wears a cool belly band because he isn't in control all the time, but the Bethanechol has made him so much better over the past few months. -
Great Price, Fast Service
From Kentucky, USAComments about Bethanechol Chloride (Generic)My vet used to sell these but the price went so much he started sending people to local pharmacies to get it. The current Walmart price is 10 times the price per pill the vet used to charge so I decided to look elsewhere. 1-800-Petmeds didn't carry it so I kept looking. So glad I found VetRXDirect. They had a price close to what my local vet used to sell them for. It only took them about 90 minutes to get the prescription info from the vet and the order was filled. They had a discount code and free shipping too so can't beat it! Thanks VetRXDirect for providing a valuable service for our pets. -
Great customer service

My dog has Addison's Disease and is Diabetic. I am so afraid this will upset her stomach. Then I will be in trouble. If she refuses to eat I can't give insulin. If she eats and I give the insulin then she vomits I'm in worse trouble. I am afraid to give the pill.?
-
According to Plumb’s Veterinary Drug Handbook, common but not serious side effects of Bethanechol may include vomiting, diarrhea, lack of appetite, and excessive drooling. Bethanechol is best given on an empty stomach, but if your animal vomits or acts sick after getting the drug, try giving it with food to see if this helps. Please consult with your veterinarian about your questions or concerns regarding this medication. Your veterinarian can recommend the best way to administer this medication to your dog.
