What is Myrbetriq® (mirabegron)?

If you have OAB symptoms of urgency, frequency and leakage, ask your healthcare professional (HCP) if Myrbetriq may be right for you.

Myrbetriq is the first and only OAB treatment in its class

Myrbetriq is a prescription medicine approved
by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)
to treat the OAB symptoms of urgency,
frequency and leakage in adults.

In clinical studies, it was found that patients taking Myrbetriq versus those not taking it:

  • experienced improvement in their OAB symptoms within the first several weeks
  • made fewer trips to the bathroom and had fewer leaks

Your results may vary.

If you have OAB symptoms of urgency, frequency and leakage, ask your healthcare professional (HCP) if Myrbetriq may be right for you.

How Myrbetriq Works

Myrbetriq works on a different pathway to increase bladder capacity

With OAB, the normal storage of urine in the bladder is interrupted when the bladder muscle suddenly contracts before the bladder is full, causing a sudden urgency to urinate that is frequent and cannot be controlled. These uncontrollable urges to urinate can sometimes lead to leakage—accidental wetting.

Myrbetriq is the only OAB treatment option in its class that targets the beta-3 pathway. When taken as directed, targeting this pathway can help relax the smooth muscle that surrounds
the bladder and increase the bladder's ability
to store urine.

If you take too many trips to the bathroom, have frequent leaks and accidents, or have already tried other options, your HCP may prescribe Myrbetriq for you.
