🌿 What is Mirabegron 50 mg ER (VesiBeta ER)?
VesiBeta ER 50 mg represents the maximum once-daily dose of Mirabegron, offering robust relief of OAB symptoms for patients who require greater efficacy. By selectively activating β3-adrenoceptors in the bladder detrusor muscle, Mirabegron enhances bladder capacity and reduces involuntary contractions without the anticholinergic side effects common to other OAB treatments.
Patients experiencing severe urgency and leakage episodes may benefit from the 50 mg ER dose, which has been shown to reduce micturition frequency by up to 45% and incontinence episodes by 50% over placebo in clinical trials. The extended-release formulation maintains steady plasma levels, ensuring consistent symptom control throughout the day and night.
🧬 Pharmacology & Mechanism of Action

| Bioavailability | ~29% |
| Metabolism | Hepatic (CYP3A4, CYP2D6) |
| Half-Life | ~50 hours |
Mirabegron’s β3-agonist activity increases cyclic AMP in detrusor muscle cells, resulting in relaxation and improved storage without impacting voiding contraction.
