Myrbetriq (Mirabegron) is a prescription medication for adults used to treat overactive bladder with symptoms of urgency, frequency, and leakage. This medication works by relaxing a certain bladder muscle (detrusor), which helps the bladder hold more urine and lessens symptoms of overactive bladder.
