WHAT BETMIGA IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Betmiga contains the active substance mirabegron. It is a bladder
muscle relaxant (a so called
beta 3-adrenoceptor agonist), which reduces the activity of an

symptoms.
Betmiga is used to treat the symptoms of an overactive bladder in
adults such as:
-
suddenly needing to empty your bladder (called urgency)
-
having to empty your bladder more than usual (called increased urinary
frequency)
-
not being able to control when to empty your bladder (called urgency
incontinence)

or
patients requiring haemodialysis) or severe hepatic impairment
(Child-Pugh Class C) and it is
therefore not recommended for use in these patient populations (see
