Patients who were initially prescribed and responded to Mirabegron 50mg once daily between 6/2013 and 9/2013, were interviewed to see if they were compliant with treatment, continue to respond to treatment and if they discontinued treatment. Results: Follow-up was for a mean of 11.7 months. At short-term follow-up, 20/39 patients responded to treatment. In the long term follow-up, 18/20 patients were still using Mirabegron. 2/20 patients discontinued because of lack of efficacy. Overall, the main reasons for discontinuation of Mirabegron after trying it for a mean of 5.3 months, was lack of efficacy and adverse events. The majority of AEs were mild in severity and few were serious. Other reasons include the lack of further prescription from general practitioners.

  • Betmiga, INN-Mirabegron
    EMA/591015/2015 EMEA/H/C/002388 EPAR summary for the public Betmiga mirabegron This is a summary of the European public assessment report (EPAR) for Betmiga. It explains how the Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) assessed the medicine to reach its opinion in favour of granting a marketing authorisation and its recommendations on the conditions of use for Betmiga. What is Betmiga? Betmiga is a medicine containing the active substance mirabegron. It is available as prolonged-release tablets (25 mg, 50 mg). ‘Prolonged-release’ means that mirabegron is released slowly from the tablet over a few hours. What is Betmiga used for? Betmiga is used in adults with overactive bladder syndrome. It is used to treat certain symptoms of the condition: urgency (sudden urge to urinate), increased urinary frequency (the need to urinate frequently) and urge incontinence (involuntary leakage of urine from the bladder when a sudden strong need to urinate is felt). The medicine can only be obtained with a prescription. How is Betmiga used? The recommended dose of Betmiga is 50 mg once a day. In patients who have reduced kidney or liver function the doctor may need to prescribe a lower dose or avoid the use of Betmiga, especially in patients taking certain other medicines.

Overuse of medications, especially in patients with chronic diseases, carries major health risks. One common consequence of polypharmacy is the increased emergence of adverse drug events, mainly from drug–drug interactions. The majority of currently available drugs are metabolized by CYP450 enzymes. Interactions due to shared CYP450-mediated metabolic pathways for two or more drugs are frequent, especially through reversible or irreversible CYP450 inhibition. The magnitude of these interactions depends on several factors, including varying affinity and concentration of substrates, time delay between the administration of the drugs, and mechanisms of CYP450 inhibition. Various types of CYP450 inhibition (competitive, non-competitive, mechanism-based) have been observed clinically, and interactions of these types require a distinct clinical management strategy. This review focuses on mechanism-based inhibition, which occurs when a substrate forms a reactive intermediate, creating a stable enzyme–intermediate complex that irreversibly reduces enzyme activity.

Pfizer Inc LIMITED USE OF ANTICHOLINERGIC DRUGS FOR OVERACTIVE BLADDER: A PHARMO STUDY Hypothesis / aims of study The aim of the study was to determine the prevalence of use of anticholinergic drugs for overactive bladder (OAB) in men and women in the Netherlands in the period 1998-2003. Study design, materials and methods Data were obtained from the PHARMO Record Linkage System, which includes patient centric data of drug-dispensing records and hospital records of more than one million patients in the Netherlands. Currently four anticholinergic drugs are available on the Dutch market for the treatment of OAB: tolterodine immediate release (IR), since 1998, tolterodine extended release (ER), since 2001, oxybutynin, since 1986, and flavoxate, since 1979. All patients who were ever prescribed these OAB drugs in the period January 1998 until December 2003 were included in the study cohort. The prevalence of use of tolterodine ER, tolterodine IR, oxybutynin and flavoxate was determined per calendar year, stratified by gender, by counting the number of patients having a dispensing with a duration of use including a single fixed day a year. Results The number of OAB drug users included in the study cohort increased from about 3,800 in 1998 to 5,000 in 2003. About 60% of the OAB drug users in the study cohort were women and about 42% of the OAB drug users were 70 years or older. The use of OAB drugs increased from 100 users per 100,000 men in 1998 to 140 users per 100,000 men in 2003 (table).
