Here are frequently asked questions (FAQs) about VESIBETA 25MG:

How does VESIBETA 25MG work?

VESIBETA 25MG contains Mirabegron, which is a beta-3 adrenergic receptor agonist. It works by activating beta-3 receptors in the bladder muscles. This action helps to relax the bladder during its storage phase, increasing its capacity to hold more urine and reducing the frequency and urgency of urination.

The usual starting dose for VESIBETA 25MG is typically one 25 mg tablet taken once a day. Your doctor may increase the dose to 50 mg after approximately 8 weeks if needed. The tablet should be swallowed whole with a glass of water, and should not be crushed, chewed, or broken. It can be taken with or without food.

What are the possible side effects of VESIBETA 25MG?

Common side effects can include increased heart rate (tachycardia), urinary tract infections (UTIs), headache, constipation, nausea, dizziness, high blood pressure, and diarrhea.

Consult your doctor if any side effects persist or worsen.

Is VESIBETA 25MG safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?
