Let's take a minute to talk about your medication.

This is Myrbetriq. It treats symptoms caused by an overactive bladder. It may help you urinate less, have fewer urges to go, and have fewer accidental leaks.  

Myrbetriq is often taken once a day, at the same time each day. You should take it exactly as your doctor tells you to. You can take your dose with or without food. You should take it with water and swallow the tablet whole.  Do not chew, break or crush the tablet.

Most people tolerate this medicine well. Still, it's a good idea to wait until you know how it affects you before you do activities that require you to be alert, like driving. Common side effects include a headache, dry mouth, constipation and symptoms of the common cold. These effects are normal if they are mild and should go away. Other common side effects include dizziness and a urinary tract infection. If these happen, you should tell your doctor right away.  If these or other side effects become reasons you want to stop taking Myrbetriq, please talk to your doctor or pharmacist. 

Because this medicine can cause high blood pressure, your doctor will check your readings.  

As with any medicine, more serious side effects could occur. With Myrbetriq, these include an allergic reaction and problems with your bladder. You should read the Patient Information sheet to know which symptoms to watch for, and when to report changes.  

Drug interactions can occur. You should always check with your doctor or pharmacist before taking other medicines.

Women should talk to their doctors before becoming pregnant and before breastfeeding.

For best results with Myrbetriq, let your doctor know if your condition does not improve after a few weeks.
