How Does Myrbetriq Work?

Mirabegron activates beta-3 adrenergic receptors in the bladder's detrusor muscle, causing relaxation during the urine storage phase. This increases bladder storage capacity and helps reduce urinary urgency, urinary frequency, and urge urinary incontinence. Its activity differs from antimuscarinic bladder medicines.

Who Is Treated With Myrbetriq?

Myrbetriq tablets are used in adults with overactive bladder symptoms and eligible pediatric patients with neurogenic detrusor overactivity. Children weighing less than 35 kg use Myrbetriq Granules rather than the tablets. Adult overactive bladder treatment can be given alone or with solifenacin. Patients with severe uncontrolled hypertension are not recommended to receive mirabegron.

How Is Myrbetriq Dosed?

Adults with overactive bladder start at 25 mg extended-release tablets once daily, increasing to 50 mg after four to eight weeks when needed. Pediatric patients age 3 and older weighing at least 35 kg follow the same tablet regimen for neurogenic detrusor overactivity. Children weighing 11 kg to less than 22 kg start Myrbetriq Granules at 3 mL daily, while those weighing 22 kg to less than 35 kg start at 4 mL daily. Granule dose increases are weight-based. Tablets and granules are not interchangeable milligram for milligram.

What Serious Risks Are Linked to Myrbetriq?

Myrbetriq can increase blood pressure and cause urinary retention, particularly in patients with bladder outlet obstruction or those taking antimuscarinic medicines. Serious angioedema involving the face, tongue, or throat has also been reported. Mirabegron inhibits CYP2D6, increasing exposure to certain medicines metabolized by that enzyme. Blood pressure, urination, and potential drug interactions are assessed during treatment.
