Treatment Summary
Mirabegron is a medication used to treat urinary frequency and incontinence. It works by relaxing the bladder muscles, and is different from other similar medications because it doesn’t have the same side effects.

It can also be used in combination with other medications for more serious cases, and an extended-release granule formulation was recently approved for children with neurogenic detrusor overactivity.

Effectiveness
How Myrbetriq Affects Patients
Mirabegron works by making the bladder muscles relax, allowing it to hold more and reducing any urgency to urinate. However, it can raise both blood pressure and heart rate, so it should be used with caution in those with severe hypertension or other conditions where these increases could be dangerous. It should also be used with care in patients with bladder outlet obstruction, as it has been linked to urinary retention.
How Myrbetriq works in the body
Mirabegron is a medication that relaxes the muscles of the bladder. This increases the bladder's capacity, making it easier to hold in urine and reducing the feeling of needing to go often.
