How much does Urecholine (bethanechol) cost?
The exact out-of-pocket price for Urecholine depends on the pharmacy, the strength (mg), the tablet size (how many tablets), and whether you’re using cash pay or insurance. Urecholine is also commonly priced differently across retailers and can change frequently.
What affects the price of bethanechol (Urecholine)?
Urecholine costs usually vary based on:
- Dose/strength and tablet quantity (for example, 25 mg vs. 50 mg and different tablet counts).
- Generic vs. brand availability in your area (bethanechol is often available generically, which can lower cost).
- Insurance formulary status and copay tier.
- Whether your prescription is filled at a chain pharmacy vs. a mail-order pharmacy.

What’s the fastest way to get an exact number?
If you tell me:
1) the strength (e.g., 10 mg / 25 mg / 50 mg),
2) the form (tablet/suspension, if you know), and
3) your ZIP code (or the pharmacy name),
I can help you narrow what to expect and what to ask the pharmacy for (cash price vs. insurance copay, and whether a generic can replace the brand).
Can I switch from brand Urecholine to generic bethanechol to lower cost?
Often, yes. If your prescription allows substitution, generic bethanechol typically costs less than the brand. The exact difference depends on your local pricing and your insurance plan’s formulary rules.
