What is Betmiga?

Mirabegron

Betmiga is a medication used to treat overactive bladder (OAB). It contains the active ingredient mirabegron, which helps relax the bladder muscles. This reduces the urgent need to urinate, frequent trips to the toilet, and urinary incontinence (leaking urine).

How does Betmiga work?

Betmiga works by targeting beta3 receptors in the bladder’s detrusor muscle. In people with an overactive bladder, this muscle contracts too often, leading to frequent and urgent urges to urinate.

Unlike some other OAB treatments, Betmiga relaxes the bladder muscle, allowing it to hold more urine. This helps reduce the need to urinate frequently and improves bladder control.

Betmiga comes in prolonged-release tablets, meaning the medication is released slowly throughout the day for lasting relief.

What are the benefits of using Betmiga?

Betmiga helps people with an overactive bladder by:
✅ Reducing sudden urges to urinate
✅ Decreasing trips to the toilet
✅ Improving bladder control
✅ Lowering the risk of urine leakage (incontinence)

By relaxing the bladder muscle, Betmiga makes daily life more comfortable for those struggling with bladder problems.
