Treatment Summary
Vibegron is a medication used to treat overactive bladder in adults. It works by relaxing the muscle of the bladder to increase bladder capacity.

How Gemtesa Affects Patients
Vibegron is a drug that helps improve symptoms of an overactive bladder. It works by increasing the size of the bladder and slowing down bladder contractions, so that people can go longer between bathroom trips. Clinical studies in Japanese patients with overactive bladders showed that vibegron improved the frequency of bathroom trips, urgency, and urgency incontinence episodes. Compared to other beta-receptors, vibegron is much more selective for beta-3 receptors, which makes it more effective for treating overactive bladders.
How Gemtesa works in the body
Overactive bladder is caused by poor communication between the bladder and the brain, leading to abnormal bladder sensations. Vibegron is a medication that helps treat overactive bladder by interacting with beta-3 adrenaline receptors. This interaction stimulates the formation of cyclic adenosine monophosphate, which helps relax the muscles of the bladder and reduce the urge to urinate. Vibegron also works by affecting sensory mechanisms without directly affecting the bladder muscles.
