Mirabegron is a prescription medication primarily used to treat symptoms of an overactive bladder (OAB) in adults. It works by relaxing the bladder muscles, allowing the bladder to hold more urine and reducing the urge and frequency of urination.
RUO dose 50mcg-100mcg. Bottle is 100mcg per 1ml
Key Information
- Medical Uses: Mirabegron is indicated for treating OAB symptoms, including urinary urgency (a sudden and urgent need to pee), urinary frequency (needing to pee more often than usual), and urge urinary incontinence (leaking urine if you cannot make it to the toilet in time). It is also used to treat neurogenic detrusor overactivity (NDO) in children aged three years and older.
- Mechanism of Action: It belongs to a class of drugs called beta-3 adrenergic agonists. It works by activating beta-3 receptors in the bladder muscle, which causes the muscle to relax and increases the bladder's capacity to store urine. This is a different mechanism from traditional OAB medications (antimuscarinics), often resulting in fewer side effects like dry mouth and constipation.
