Hi gail - you may have already tried this laboratory - I did see something on another site where it said that the product was discontinued, but that might just have been that specific package. Good Luck. |

Done a quick search and myotonine seems to be a trade name? If you search for just bethanecol 10mg a few different sites come up. Particularly Duvoid. I have no idea if it would be an acceptable alternative for your vet to consider. |

Hi, Gail; found this site. You or your vet might want to give it a look. Good luck! http://apcalis-apin.com/en-prices-Myotonine.php |

Hi Gail, I am sure you will find what you need at the URLs provided, but what puzzles me is why your vet doesn't have this information? The pharmaceutical companies tend to go overboard with information and updates on their products rather than leave medics/vets or people like yourself to chase up the news of where a drug has been discontinued or replaced with an alternative. Bethanechol (commercial name Myotonine) is also available for humans. I am assuming that your cat is suffering from urine retention problems - if so has the vet suggested that he/she drain off the urine (i.e catheterisation)? Glenwood Laboratories in Kent (01634 830 535) should be able to update you on availability). I am a human medic. not a vet but the principle action of the drug is the same. For cats, the typical dosage is probably 2.5 to 5 mg per cat two to three times per day. Make sure that you do tell the vet if our cat is on any other type of medication (although an experienced vet will probably ask you). |
