Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Cholinergic drugs,such as bethanechol (Urecholine),increase contraction of the bladder and improve emptying.Bethanechol stimulates parasympathetic nerves to increase bladder wall contraction and relax the sphincter.Oxybutynin chloride (Ditropan)is an anticholinergic drug that depresses the neurotransmitter acetylcholine (which normally stimulates the bladder),and thus reduces incontinence.Propantheline (Pro-Banthine)is an anticholinergic drug that depresses the neurotransmitter acetylcholine (which normally stimulates the bladder),and thus reduces incontinence.Nystatin (Mycostatin)is an antifungal agent.
