Mirabegron

The Generic name of this drug

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. Mirabegron was first approved by the FDA in 2012 and is also used in other countries. 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.

Myrbetriq Toxicity & Overdose Risk

If the recommended maximum dose of Diovan is exceeded (up to 400mg for healthy volunteers), the individual may experience palpitations and a faster heart rate. Long-term overdosing can produce similar symptoms and a rise in systolic blood pressure. If someone overdoses on Diovan, standard treatments should be administered alongside ECG monitoring.

Myrbetriq for Overactive Bladder

When given oxybutynin alongside this medication, I saw the best results. No leakage or urgency. My blood pressure was already normal, but it increased slightly. However, it's nothing to worry about in comparison to the massive improvements in quality of life and confidence that these two medications have brought me.

Myrbetriq for Overactive Bladder

Myretig has been an amazing medication for me. After my hysterectomy, I developed OB and was constantly leaking. This medication has helped me to be dry most of the day and urinate normally.

Myrbetriq for Frequent Urination

Unfortunately, I experienced some pretty severe chest pains about ten days after using this medication. I ended up in atrial fibrillation and needed a pacemaker.

Myrbetriq for Needing to Urinate Immediately

I no longer have to wake up to use the restroom as frequently, but when I do have to go, it's an immediate emergency. Additionally, I don't care for the smell of my urine now and my back pains seem more intense.

Myrbetriq for Overactive Bladder

I've been using Myrbetriq for a little over three months now. It's helped somewhat, but I still feel the constant urge to urinate. Additionally, I've experienced dry eyes and lower back pain. I'm going to give it a few more weeks before trying Botox in the bladder.

Myrbetriq for Overactive Bladder

I lost half of my hair while using this medication, which was a huge and very unexpected side effect. It's been slowly growing back, but I'll never get back the volume or thickness that I had before.

I didn't have a good experience with this medication because of the severe side effects I experienced, like nausea and dizziness. My blood pressure also increased, which is not ideal for someone who already has low blood pressure.

Patient Review

Myrbetriq for Overactive Bladder

I started having memory problems after only five days of taking this drug. I stopped immediately, but there has been no improvement. The only other possible explanations are that I had undiagnosed COVID, which can sometimes cause this side effect, or it was from a slight increase in my Moclobimide dose. But I have taken Moclobimide at that dose before without any problems, and I tested negative for Covid.

Clinical Trials for Myrbetriq

Detrusor Nerve Radiofrequency Ablation for Overactive Bladder

22 - 80
Female
Palo Alto, CA

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if a vaginal radiofrequency (RF) device called MORPHEUSV works to treat overactive bladder (OAB) in women. Researchers also want to learn how safe the device is for this indication. This study will include women ages 22 to 80 who have had OAB symptoms for at least 6 months. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does the MORPHEUSV device lower the number of daily episodes of accidental urine leakage caused by urgency? Does it work better than a sham (placebo) treatment? Researchers will compare the MORPHEUSV device to a sham treatment to see how well it reduces symptoms of overactive bladder. Participants will: 1) Receive one session of either the MORPHEUSV or sham treatment. 2) Track their symptoms using a diary and questionnaires 3) Return for three to six follow-up visits over 12 months. This study is being conducted at multiple clinics in the United States.

Extended Release Torsemide for Overactive Bladder in Heart Failure

18+
All Sexes
Dallas, TX

This research study is being done to compare the effectiveness two drugs: an extended release torsemide (ERT) versus generic immediate release Torsemide (IRT) in reducing the worsening of symptoms of Overactive Bladder (OAB i.e., frequency, urgency, or urgency incontinence) in patients with chronic congestive heart failure (CHF). This study will include CHF patients who experience worsening OAB) symptoms with use of a loop diuretic. The total duration of the study is about eight weeks with a total of nine visits. There will be a screening visit that lasts one to two hours. The screening visit includes history and physical exams, blood draws, and urine analysis. If eligible for the study, participants will receive either generic torsemide or extended release torsemide for the first four weeks. Participants will do a virtual research visit on week one, two and three to submit a symptom diary and answer a questionnaire about urinary symptoms. At four weeks, history and physician exam will be done and blood will be collected. Participants will be assigned to receive either extended release torsemide (if they initially received generic torsemide) and generic torsemide (if they initially received extended release torsemide) for the next four weeks. Participants will attend virtual research visits on week five, six and seven to submit a symptom diary and answer a questionnaire about urinary symptoms. At the end of the study in week eight, they will have history and physical exams and blood draws. Some risks from the study may include side effects of torsemide like acute kidney injury, fluid/electrolyte loss, hypersensitivity reactions and reversible hearing loss/tinnitus.
