Mirabegron
Mirabegron belongs to the class of drugs known as beta-3 adrenergic agonists. Its mechanism of action involves activation of beta-3 adrenergic receptors in the detrusor muscle of the bladder. This activation leads to relaxation of the bladder smooth muscle during the storage phase of the urinary cycle, increasing bladder capacity and reducing the frequency of involuntary detrusor muscle contractions. Mirabegron is indicated for the treatment of overactive bladder.
Mirabegron is indicated for the treatment of overactive bladder with symptoms of urge urinary incontinence, urgency, and frequency.
- The suggested initial dosage is 25 mg taken once daily, either independently or in conjunction with solifenacin succinate 5 mg, also administered once daily.
- Depending on individual effectiveness and tolerance, the dosage may be escalated to 50 mg once daily, either as a standalone treatment or paired with solifenacin succinate 5 mg once daily.
- Swallow the tablet whole with water, with or without food, and avoid chewing, dividing, or crushing it.
- For patients with severe renal impairment or moderate hepatic impairment, the maximum recommended dose is 25 mg of Mirabegron once daily.
