OAB is a medical condition involving urine storage in the body. OAB can happen when nerve signals between your bladder and brain tell your bladder to empty even when it isn't full. This may cause your bladder muscles to contract to pass urine before they should. These contractions cause the sudden, strong urgency to urinate or cause leakage.
OAB is not a normal part of aging. It is a medical condition that may be helped with appropriate treatment.
OAB symptoms such as frequency, urgency, and urine leakage occur with uncontrolled contractions of the bladder muscle. Medical reasons for this can be unknown. Talk to your healthcare professional (HCP) about your OAB symptoms and what treatment option is appropriate for you.
When a diagnosis of OAB is made, your healthcare professional (HCP) might suggest dietary and lifestyle changes and/or a prescription medicine.
OAB is a medical condition that requires proper diagnosis and treatment. Your healthcare professional (HCP) should determine the appropriate method of treatment for your OAB symptoms. Following that treatment program and sticking with it is your best course of action.
Myrbetriq is a prescription medicine approved by the FDA to treat OAB with symptoms of urgency, frequency and leakage in adults.
When Myrbetriq was studied in clinical trials, it was shown to be effective in treating symptoms of OAB within 4 to 8 weeks. Those people taking Myrbetriq made fewer trips to the bathroom and had fewer leaks than those people not taking Myrbetriq. Your results may vary.
When taken as directed, Myrbetriq can help relax the smooth muscle that surrounds the bladder and may increase the bladder's ability to store urine.
