I am 22 years old. I had a bulbar urethral stricture operation on last 27th july. Then the doctor advised me to take 1 urotone tablet daily by dividing it into two parts (half part in the morning and half part in the night). By taking the tablet in the process (half part in the morning and half in the night) I am always felling severe belly pain. So is it right way to take urotone tablet by breaking? When will I take this tablet before or after meal? please reply me what can I do?

Tab. Urotone (bethanechol) is prescribed as 25 mg or 50 mg dose, 2 - 3 times a day. It is a drug to improve bladder contractility, if you have good urine flow and are emptying your bladder satisfactorily, there is no use of taking this tablet. Consult a qualified urologist in your area and get a uroflowmetry test done at regular intervals/ check for post void residual urine on ultrasound examination.

Urotone will not help in bulbar urethral stricture.

You are already been operated for stricture. If you are generating good flow of urine without the urotone tab, then I will suggest you to stop the medicine. If you cannot generate, then it will be better to consult your urologist for change of medicines. For information, your symptom has no relation with break in tablets.
