Uses of Mirabegron 50mg
Mirabegron 50mg is used to treat symptoms of overactive bladder (OAB), including urinary urgency, frequency, and leakage (urge incontinence). It may also be prescribed as part of combination therapy for individuals with persistent or severe bladder symptoms.
How Does Mirabegron 50mg Work?
Mirabegron activates beta-3 adrenergic receptors in the bladder’s detrusor muscle. This activation relaxes the bladder wall, increases its storage capacity, and reduces the urgency and frequency of urination. By targeting the bladder muscle directly, Mirabegron enhances bladder control and reduces the impact of OAB symptoms.
How to Use Mirabegron 50mg
Take Mirabegron 50mg as prescribed by your healthcare provider, typically once daily.

If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember unless it is close to your next scheduled dose. Do not double the dose to make up for a missed one. Consistent use is essential for optimal results.
