  • For treating the symptoms of OAB, Myrbetriq 25 mg was effective within 8 weeks and Myrbetriq 50 mg was effective within 4 weeks1

  • Myrbetriq can be taken with or without food1
  • Myrbetriq should be taken with water, swallowed whole, and should not be chewed, divided, or crushed1

Dose adjustments in special populations1

  • The daily dose of Myrbetriq should not exceed 25 mg once daily in the following populations:
    • Patients with severe renal impairment (eGFR 15 to 29 mL/min/1.73 m2)
    • Patients with moderate hepatic impairment (Child‑Pugh Class B)
  • Myrbetriq is not recommended for use in patients with end-stage renal disease* (ESRD) or in patients with severe hepatic impairment (Child‑Pugh Class C)
  • No dose adjustment is required based on age
*eGFR <15 mL/min/1.73 m2 or requiring dialysis.

Drug‑to‑Drug Interactions

Drug interaction studies were conducted to investigate the effect of co-administered drugs on the pharmacokinetics of mirabegron and the effect of mirabegron on the pharmacokinetics of co‑administered drugs. No dose adjustment is recommended when these drugs are co‑administered with Myrbetriq1:

  • Ketoconazole
  • Rifampin
  • Solifenacin succinate*
  • Tamsulosin*
  • Metformin
  • Oral contraceptives

*Although no dosage adjustment is recommended with solifenacin succinate or tamsulosin based on the lack of pharmacokinetic interaction, Myrbetriq should be administered with caution to patients taking muscarinic antagonist medications for the treatment of overactive bladder (OAB) and in patients with clinically significant bladder outlet obstruction (BOO) because of the risk of urinary retention.

The following are drug interactions for which monitoring is recommended1:

Drugs Metabolized by CYP2D6

Since Myrbetriq is a moderate CYP2D6 inhibitor, the systemic exposure to CYP2D6 substrates such as metoprolol and desipramine is increased when co‑administered with Myrbetriq. Therefore, appropriate monitoring and dose adjustment may be necessary, especially with narrow therapeutic index drugs metabolized by CYP2D6, such as thioridazine, flecainide, and propafenone.

Digoxin

When initiating a combination of Myrbetriq and digoxin, prescribe the lowest dose of digoxin; monitor serum digoxin concentrations to titrate digoxin dose to desired clinical effect.

Warfarin

  • Following a single‑dose administration of 25 mg warfarin, Myrbetriq had no effect on the warfarin pharmacodynamic endpoints such as International Normalized Ratio (INR) and prothrombin time (PT)
  • The effect of Myrbetriq on multiple doses of warfarin and on warfarin pharmacodynamic endpoints
    (INR and PT) has not been fully investigated

INDICATIONS AND USAGE

MYRBETRIQ® (mirabegron extended-release tablets), either alone or in combination with the muscarinic antagonist solifenacin succinate, is indicated for the treatment of overactive bladder (OAB) in adult patients with symptoms of urge urinary incontinence, urgency, and urinary frequency.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

MYRBETRIQ is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity reactions to mirabegron or any inactive ingredients of the tablet.

MYRBETRIQ monotherapy or in combination with solifenacin succinate can increase blood pressure in adults. Periodic blood pressure determinations are recommended, especially in hypertensive patients. MYRBETRIQ is not recommended for use in patients with severe uncontrolled hypertension (defined as systolic blood pressure ≥ 180mm Hg and/or diastolic blood pressure ≥ 110mm Hg). Worsening of pre-existing hypertension was reported infrequently in patients taking MYRBETRIQ.

In patients taking MYRBETRIQ, urinary retention has been reported in patients with bladder outlet obstruction (BOO) and in patients taking muscarinic antagonist medications for the treatment of OAB. A controlled clinical safety study in patients with BOO did not demonstrate increased urinary retention in patients treated with mirabegron; however, MYRBETRIQ should still be administered with caution to patients with clinically significant BOO. For example, monitor these patients for signs and symptoms of urinary retention. MYRBETRIQ should also be administered with caution to patients taking muscarinic antagonist medications for the treatment of OAB, including solifenacin succinate.

Angioedema of the face, lips, tongue and/or larynx has been reported with MYRBETRIQ. In some cases, angioedema occurred after the first dose. Cases have been reported to occur hours after the first dose or after multiple doses. Angioedema, associated with upper airway swelling, may be life threatening. If involvement of the tongue, hypopharynx, or larynx occurs, promptly discontinue MYRBETRIQ and initiate appropriate therapy and/or measures necessary to ensure a patent airway.

Since MYRBETRIQ is a moderate CYP2D6 inhibitor, the systemic exposure to CYP2D6 substrates is increased when co‐administered with MYRBETRIQ. Therefore, appropriate monitoring and dose adjustment may be necessary, especially with narrow therapeutic index drugs metabolized by CYP2D6.

In clinical trials, the most commonly reported adverse reactions in adults (> 2% and > placebo) for MYRBETRIQ 25mg and 50mg versus placebo, respectively, were hypertension (11.3%, 7.5% vs. 7.6%), nasopharyngitis (3.5%, 3.9% vs. 2.5%), urinary tract infection (4.2%, 2.9% vs. 1.8%), and headache (2.1%, 3.2% vs. 3.0%).

In clinical trials, the most commonly reported adverse reactions in adults (> 2% and > placebo and > comparator) for MYRBETRIQ in combination with solifenacin succinate 25mg + 5mg and 50mg + 5mg versus MYRBETRIQ 25mg, MYRBETRIQ 50mg, solifenacin succinate 5mg, and placebo, respectively, were dry mouth (9.3%, 7.2% vs. 3.8%, 3.6%, 6.5%, 2.2%), urinary tract infection (7.0%, 4.0% vs. 4.0%, 4.2%, 3.6%, 5.3%), constipation (4.2%, 3.9% vs. 1.2%, 2.8%, 2.4%, 1.2%), and tachycardia (2.2%, 0.9% vs. 1.6%, 1.6%, 0.7%, 0.8%).

In postmarketing experience with mirabegron, the following events have also occurred: atrial fibrillation, nausea, diarrhea, and dizziness.

Please refer to prescribing information for solifenacin succinate when prescribing MYRBETRIQ in combination with solifenacin succinate.
