Myrbetriq (Mirabegron)

Myrbetriq (mirabegron) is a prescription medication used to treat the symptoms of overactive bladder (OAB), including frequent urination, urgency, and incontinence. By relaxing the bladder muscle, Myrbetriq helps increase the bladder’s capacity to hold urine, reducing the need for frequent trips to the bathroom. Myrbetriq must be prescribed along with a muscarinic antagonist.

Why Choose Myrbetriq (Mirabegron)?

Myrbetriq is classified as a beta-3 adrenergic agonist. It works by stimulating the beta-3 adrenergic receptors in the bladder, which leads to the relaxation of the detrusor muscle. This relaxation increases the bladder’s capacity to store urine, helping reduce the symptoms of OAB.

How to use Myrbetriq (Mirabegron)?

Myrbetriq is available as an extended-release tablet in two strengths: 25 mg and 50 mg. The typical starting dose is 25 mg once daily, which may be increased to 50 mg once daily by your healthcare provider if needed. Myrbetriq should be taken with a full glass of water, and it can be taken with or without food. Swallow the tablet whole; do not crush or chew it.

Before taking Myrbetriq, inform your healthcare provider if you:

  1. Have kidney or liver problems
  2. Have high blood pressure
  3. Are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or are breast-feeding
