Mirabegron: Uses, Side Effects & Brands in Pakistan

Mirabegron is a beta-3 agonist bladder relaxant. It is a prescription medicine used for overactive bladder, urinary urgency and urge incontinence. In Pakistan it is available as tablets, made by 3 different manufacturers. On this page you can read how it works, its common side effects and precautions, and compare the brands and prices available at Medimart.

How Mirabegron works

Mirabegron activates beta-3 receptors in the bladder muscle. This relaxes the muscle while the bladder is filling, so it can store more urine and squeezes less often without warning. Unlike antimuscarinic bladder medicines, it does not block acetylcholine.

What is Mirabegron used for?

• Overactive bladder
• Urinary urgency
• Urge incontinence

Mirabegron is used in adults with overactive bladder to reduce the sudden, strong need to pass urine, frequent trips to the toilet, and leaks that happen when you cannot reach the toilet in time. It is often chosen for people who could not tolerate or did not benefit from older bladder medicines, as it does not usually cause dry mouth.

Side effects of Mirabegron

Some people taking Mirabegron experience:

• Raised blood pressure
• Urinary tract infections
• Headache
• Fast heartbeat
• Dizziness
• Constipation

Get medical help if you cannot pass urine, have a very high blood pressure reading with a severe headache, or notice swelling of the face, lips or throat.

Precautions and warnings

• Your blood pressure should be checked before and during treatment, and it is not suitable if your blood pressure is very high and uncontrolled.
• Tell your doctor if you have kidney or liver disease, a blockage at the bladder outlet, or a history of an abnormal heart rhythm.
• It can raise the levels of some medicines, such as digoxin, metoprolol and certain antidepressants, so share a full list of your medicines.
• It is not recommended in pregnancy or while breastfeeding, and women who could become pregnant should use contraception.
• It may take several weeks to see the full benefit, so keep taking it as prescribed.
