Patient leaflet - Mirabegron 25 mg prolonged-release tablets
1. What Mirabegron is and what it is used for
Mirabegron contains the active substance mirabegron. It is a bladder muscle relaxant (also called beta 3- adrenoceptor agonist), which reduces the activity of an overactive bladder and treats the related symptoms and reduces neurogenic detrusor overactivity.
Mirabegron is used to
Treat the symptoms of a condition called overactive
bladder in adults. These symptoms include:
suddenly needing to empty your bladder (called
urgency),
having to empty your bladder more than usual
(called increased urinary frequency),
not being able to control when to empty your
bladder (called urgency incontinence).
Treat a condition called neurogenic detrusor
overactivity in children aged 3 to less than 18 years. Neurogenic detrusor overactivity is a condition in which involuntary bladder contractions occur due to a condition that you are born with or injury to the nerves, which control the bladder. If left untreated, neurogenic detrusor overactivity may lead to damage to your bladder and/or kidneys. Mirabegron is used to increase the amount of urine your bladder can hold and reduce urine leakage.

Other medicines and Mirabegron

for mental illness), propafenone or flecainide (medicines for abnormal heart rhythm), imipramine or desipramine (medicines used for depression). These specific medicines may require dose adjustment by your doctor.

3. How to take Mirabegron
Always take this medicine exactly as your doctor has told you. Check with your doctor or pharmacist if you are not sure.
Use in adults with overactive bladder
The recommended dose is one 50 mg tablet by mouth once daily. If you have kidney or liver problems, your doctor may need to reduce your dose to one 25 mg tablet by mouth once daily. You must take this medicine with liquids and swallow the tablet whole. Do not crush or chew the tablet as it may impact its characteristics. Mirabegron can be taken with or without food.
Use in children and adolescents (age 3 to less than 18 years) with neurogenic detrusor overactivity
Take this medicine by mouth once daily. You must take this medicine with liquids and swallow the tablet whole. Do not crush or chew the tablet as it may impact its characteristics. This medicine must be taken with food. Your doctor will tell you which dose you/your child should take. Your doctor will calculate the correct dose for a patient depending on his or her body weight.

If you take more Mirabegron than you should

Symptoms of overdose may include a forceful beating of the heart, an increased pulse rate or an increased blood pressure.
If you forget to take Mirabegron
If you forget to take your medicine, take the missed dose as soon as you remember. If it is less than 12 hours before your next scheduled dose, skip the dose and continue to take your medicine at the usual time.
Do not take a double dose to make up for a forgotten dose. If you miss several doses, tell your doctor and follow the advice given to you.
If you stop taking Mirabegron
Do not stop treatment with Mirabegron early if you do not see an immediate effect. Your bladder might need some time to adapt. You should continue taking your tablets. Do not stop taking them when your bladder condition improves. Stopping treatment may result in recurrence of symptoms of overactive bladder or neurogenic detrusor overactivity.
Do not stop taking Mirabegron without talking to your doctor first, as your symptoms of overactive bladder or neurogenic detrusor overactivity may come back.
