🌿 What is Mirabegron 25 mg ER (VesiBeta ER)?
VesiBeta ER 25 mg features Mirabegron, a β3-adrenoceptor agonist that relaxes detrusor smooth muscle during the storage phase, increasing bladder capacity without anticholinergic side effects. This mechanism offers an alternative for patients intolerant to muscarinic antagonists.
Overactive bladder affects millions worldwide, leading to social anxiety, work disruption, and sleep disturbances. VesiBeta ER’s once-daily extended-release formulation ensures stable blood levels, reducing urinary urgency episodes by up to 40% and improving quality of life over 12 weeks of therapy.
