Mechanism of action of Mirabegron
Mirabegron (mir" a beg' ron) is a synthetic beta-3 adrenergic agonist which binds to receptors in the bladder that causes relaxation of the detrusor smooth muscle and results in an increase in the bladder capacity. Mirabegron has been evaluated as therapy of the overactive bladder syndrome, a condition marked by urgency, frequency, nocturia and incontinence that occurs most commonly in older women. Other therapies of overactive bladder include anticholinergics, but these are only partially effective and can have troublesome side effects, particularly in the elderly. In several short term clinical trials, mirabegron was found to increase voided volume and decrease episodes of incontinence and urinary frequency modestly.
