Bethanechol is a cholinergic agonist that stimulates the parasympathetic nervous system, leading to increased gastrointestinal motility, increased urinary bladder tone, and decreased heart rate. Adverse effects of bethanechol may include nausea and vomiting (A), blurred vision (B), and orthostatic hypotension (C). Increased peristalsis (D) and increased respiratory rate (E) are actually desired effects of the medication.
