Mirabegron ( INN ) is a prescription drug from the group of β 3 - sympathomimetics . It has been approved in the EU for the treatment of overactive bladder since 2012 . It is used in the symptomatic therapy of imperative urination , increased micturition frequency and urge incontinence . It is the first active ingredient from the group of β 3 sympathomimetics.
Mechanism of action
Mirabegron acts as a β 3 - adrenoceptor agonist . A sympathetic innervation of the urinary bladder leads to an increase in the bladder capacity and a decrease in the contractility of the bladder muscles. Animal studies and experiments on isolated bladder muscle cells showed relaxation of the bladder smooth muscles. An increase in micturition volume was found in vivo .
trade
Mirabegron is sold under the trade names Betmiga ® (EU), Myr Betriq ™ (USA) and Betanis ® (Japan).
It is approved in the USA, Europe and Japan, among others. In Germany, the drug was sold for one year from June 2014. However, compared to the cheaper anticholinergics , Mirabegron showed no additional benefit, which is why it was initially withdrawn from the market.
It has been on the market again since August 15, 2017. However, it is only used as an alternative therapeutic agent for side effects of anticholinergic drugs, especially for dry mouth .
Application and dosage
Mirabegron is administered orally as a prolonged-release tablet at a dose of 25 or 50 mg once a day.
Side effects
Common side effects (≥ 1/100 to <1/10) are urinary tract infections and tachycardia . Headaches, dizziness, nausea, constipation and diarrhea are less common .
Contraindication
Mirabegron is contraindicated in severe hypertension . There have been cases of hypertensive crises which can clearly be traced back to the medication with Betmiga ® .
