Mirabegron

Uses of Mirabegron

  • The primary use of Mirabegron is to manage symptoms of overactive bladder in adults. It belongs to the group of medicines known as beta-3 adrenergic agonists.

Side effects of Mirabegron

  • High blood pressure

  • Common cold symptoms

  • Urinary tract infections

  • Headache

  • Constipation

How Mirabegron works

  • Mirabegron is a medicine that activates beta-3 adrenergic receptors.

  • It works by selectively stimulating beta-3 receptors present in the muscles of the urinary bladder. These receptors, once stimulated, enable the bladder muscles to relax. This relaxation increases the bladder's capacity to store urine, reducing the urgency and frequency of urination which are characteristic symptoms of an overactive bladder. Mirabegron primarily interacts with beta-3 receptors and has a lower affinity for other beta receptors, which minimises potential cardiovascular side effects.
