What is Myrbetriq
Myrbetriq is a prescription medication that contains the active ingredient mirabegron. It is primarily used to treat overactive bladder (OAB) in adults, which is characterized by symptoms such as frequent urination and urgency. The drug works by relaxing the bladder muscle, allowing for increased storage capacity and reduced urgency. There are no direct analogues with the same mechanism of action, but other treatments for OAB include anticholinergic medications. Myrbetriq is unique in its class as it is a beta-3 adrenergic agonist, differing from traditional anticholinergic therapies.
