Mirabegron (trade name Myrbetriq meer-BET-trick in the US and Betmiga in Europe) is a drug for the treatment of overactive bladder.[2] It was developed by Astellas Pharma and was approved in the United States in July 2012.[3]

Mirabegron activates the β3 adrenergic receptor in the detrusor muscle in the bladder, which leads to muscle relaxation and an increase in bladder capacity.[4]

Medical uses

Its primary use is in the treatment of overactive bladder.[1][5][6]

Mirabegron has also recently been shown to activate brown fat and increase metabolism. In a small study of 15 healthy, lean men, Mirabegron was shown to increase basal heart rate, metabolic rate and blood pressure which are signs of cardiovascular stimulation.[7]

Recently, mirabegron was shown to relax in vitro human and rabbit prostate smooth muscle through activation of β3 adrenoceptor.[8] The same group also showed that mirabegron promotes smooth muscle relaxation by α1 adrenergic receptor blockade.[9]

Adverse effects
