How to choose appropriate medication for overactive bladder: Findings from the largest integrated clinical trial database analysis of mirabegron studies
Medical treatment of overactive bladder (OAB) includes antimuscarinic agents, beta-3 adrenoceptor agonist (mirabegron), or combination with both drugs. Recently, a meta-analysis reported the integrated clinical trial data from 10 phase 2–4, double-blind, 12-week mirabegron monotherapy studies. The r...

description | Medical treatment of overactive bladder (OAB) includes antimuscarinic agents, beta-3 adrenoceptor agonist (mirabegron), or combination with both drugs. Recently, a meta-analysis reported the integrated clinical trial data from 10 phase 2–4, double-blind, 12-week mirabegron monotherapy studies. The results confirmed that mirabegron is as effective as the previously used antimuscarinic agent to treat OAB. The treatment-emergent adverse events were similar across subgroups. This article comments on this largest integrated clinical trial data analysis, and reviews the recently published literature and tries to reveal how to choose the appropriate medication for OAB. For OAB patients, starting from antimuscarinic agent is feasible. However, if the patients have risk of cognitive dysfunction, a history of constipation, dry mouth, and urinary retention, starting with mirabegron 50 mg might be more safe and appropriate. In the elderly patients with low detrusor contractility, with central nervous system lesion, and men with benign prostatic hyperplasia, starting from 25 mg mirabegron is recommended. If the treatment result is not satisfactory to the 25 mg mirabegron, increase dose to 50 mg mirabegron is appropriate. In patients who have failed from the first OAB medication either with antimuscarinics or mirabegron 50 mg, the exchange of the OAB medication to each other should be tried first. If the treatment result is still not satisfactory, a combination of antimuscarinics and mirabegron is recommended. |
