Main Research Findings
Mirabegron, a medication for overactive bladder, has shown to be safer and have fewer side effects compared to anticholinergics. 5 , 27 Its effectiveness has also been confirmed in elderly patients. 3 Mirabegron belongs to a new class of drugs called β3-adrenergic receptor agonists, which work by relaxing the muscles in the bladder, thereby improving overactive bladder symptoms. 6 Compared to anticholinergics, mirabegron has been reported to have fewer side effects such as dry mouth, constipation, and blurred vision. 5 However, mirabegron can potentially cause side effects such as urinary retention and tachycardia. 4 , 11
Reasons for Side Effects
The side effects of mirabegron are due to its agonist activity on β3-adrenergic receptors. β3-adrenergic receptors are found not only in the bladder muscles but also in the heart and blood vessels. Therefore, mirabegron can potentially increase heart rate and blood pressure in addition to relaxing the bladder muscles. 11
Common Side Effects
Urinary Retention
Urinary retention has been reported as a side effect of mirabegron. 4 The risk of urinary retention may be higher in men with benign prostatic hypertrophy. 4
Tachycardia
Tachycardia has been reported as a side effect of mirabegron. 11 Mirabegron acts on the β3-adrenergic receptors of the heart and can potentially increase heart rate. 11
Other Side Effects
Other side effects of mirabegron reported include headache, indigestion, constipation, and back pain. 5
Countermeasures for Side Effects
Urinary Retention
If urinary retention occurs, stop taking mirabegron and consult your doctor. 4 Your doctor will investigate the cause of urinary retention and provide appropriate treatment. 4
Tachycardia
If tachycardia occurs, stop taking mirabegron and consult your doctor. 11 Your doctor will investigate the cause of tachycardia and provide appropriate treatment. 11
Other Side Effects
If any other side effects occur, stop taking mirabegron and consult your doctor. 5 Your doctor will investigate the cause of the side effect and provide appropriate treatment. 5
Comparison Among Studies
Commonalities
Numerous studies have shown that mirabegron is an effective treatment for overactive bladder. 6 , 9 , 3 , 12 Furthermore, it has been reported to have fewer side effects compared to anticholinergics. 5 , 13
Differences
Different studies have reported varying incidence and types of side effects related to mirabegron. 4 , 11 This is likely due to variations in study participants such as age, gender, and underlying health conditions. 4 , 11
Precautions for Real-Life Applications
Mirabegron is an effective treatment for overactive bladder, but it can cause side effects. 5 , 13 It is crucial to consult your doctor before taking mirabegron to ensure it is suitable for your body. 5 , 13 If you experience any side effects such as urinary retention or tachycardia while taking mirabegron, contact your doctor immediately. 4 , 11
Current Research Limitations
There are not yet sufficient studies on the long-term safety and efficacy of mirabegron. 5 , 13 Additionally, it has been reported that the incidence and types of side effects of mirabegron can vary significantly among individuals. 4 , 11
Future Research Directions
Research is needed to evaluate the long-term safety and efficacy of mirabegron. 5 , 13 Further studies are also required to investigate the incidence and types of side effects related to mirabegron in greater detail. 4 , 11
Conclusion
Mirabegron has been shown to be an effective treatment for overactive bladder. 5 , 6 However, there is a possibility of side effects such as urinary retention and tachycardia. 4 , 11 When taking mirabegron, it is crucial to consult your doctor and fully understand the risks of side effects before starting the medication. 5 , 13
