Uroben XR Tablet (Extended Release) 25 mg Uses, Dosage, Side Effects, Food Interaction and all others data.

Uroben XR Tablet (Extended Release) 25 mg is a potent and selective beta 3-adrenoceptor agonist. Uroben XR Tablet (Extended Release) 25 mg showed relaxation of bladder smooth muscle in rat and human isolated tissue, increased cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) concentrations in rat bladder tissue and showed a bladder relaxant effect in rat urinary bladder function models. Uroben XR Tablet (Extended Release) 25 mg increased mean voided volume per micturition, and decreased the frequency of non-voiding contractions, without affecting voiding pressure or residual urine in rat models of bladder overactivity. In a monkey model, mirabegron showed decreased voiding frequency. These results indicate that mirabegron enhances urine storage function by stimulating beta 3-adrenoceptors in the bladder.

During the urine storage phase, when urine accumulates in the bladder, sympathetic nerve stimulation predominates. Noradrenaline is released from nerve terminals, leading predominantly to beta adrenoceptor activation in the bladder musculature and hence bladder smooth muscle relaxation. During the urine voiding phase, the bladder is predominantly under parasympathetic nervous system control. Acetylcholine, released from pelvic nerve terminals, stimulates cholinergic M2 and M3 receptors, inducing bladder contraction. The activation of the M2 pathway also inhibits beta 3-adrenoceptor induced increases in cAMP. Therefore beta 3-adrenoceptor stimulation should not interfere with the voiding process. This was confirmed in rats with partial urethral obstruction, where mirabegron decreased the frequency of non-voiding contractions without affecting the voided volume per micturition, voiding pressure or residual urine volume.

Uroben XR Tablet (Extended Release) 25 mg exerts its pharmacologic effects by forcing bladder smooth muscle to relax, thereby expanding its capacity and relieving urgency. Uroben XR Tablet (Extended Release) 25 mg does not appear to adversely affect the mean maximum flow rate or mean detrusor pressure at maximum flow rate in patients with lower urinary tract symptoms and bladder outlet obstruction (BOO), but should be used with in patients with BOO due to reports of significant urinary retention. Furthermore, mirabegron increases both blood pressure and heart rate in a dose-dependent manner and should therefore be used with caution in patients with severely uncontrolled hypertension or others for whom these increases may prove dangerous.

Uses

Uroben XR Tablet (Extended Release) 25 mg is a beta-3 adrenergic agonist used for the treatment of overactive bladder (OAB) with symptoms of urge urinary incontinence, urgency, and urinary frequency.

Uroben XR Tablet (Extended Release) 25 mg, in combination with the muscarinic antagonist solifenacin succinate, is used for the treatment of OAB with symptoms of urge urinary incontinence, urgency, and urinary frequency

Uroben XR Tablet (Extended Release) 25 mg is also used to associated treatment for these conditions: Neurogenic Detrusor Overactivity, Urinary Bladder, Overactive

How Uroben XR Tablet (Extended Release) 25 mg works

Uroben XR Tablet (Extended Release) 25 mg is a potent and selective agonist of beta-3 adrenergic receptors. The activation of beta-3 receptors relaxes detrusor smooth muscle during the storage phase of the urinary bladder fill-void cycle, which increases the bladder's storage capacity thereby alleviating feelings of urgency and frequency.

Dosage

Uroben XR Tablet (Extended Release) 25 mg dosage

Recommended starting dose: 25 mg once daily, alone or in combination with solifenacin succinate 5 mg, once daily. Based on individual efficacy and tolerability, may increase dose to 50 mg once daily, alone or in combination with solifenacin succinate 5 mg, once daily. Swallow whole with water, with or without food, do not chew, divide or crush

Patients with Severe Renal Impairment or Patients with Moderate HepaticImpairment: Maximum dose is 25 mg Uroben XR Tablet (Extended Release) 25 mg once daily

Patients with End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) or Patients with SevereHepatic Impairment: Not recommended

Side Effects

The most common adverse reactions reported for patients treated with Uroben XR Tablet (Extended Release) 25 mg 50 mg during the three 12-week phase 3 double-blind, placebo-controlled studies are tachycardia and urinary tract infections. The frequency of tachycardia was 1.2% in patients receiving Uroben XR Tablet (Extended Release) 25 mg 50 mg. Tachycardia led to discontinuation in 0.1% patients receiving Uroben XR Tablet (Extended Release) 25 mg 50 mg. The frequency of urinary tract infections was 2.9% in patients receiving Uroben XR Tablet (Extended Release) 25 mg 50 mg. Urinary tract infections led to discontinuation in none of the patients receiving Uroben XR Tablet (Extended Release) 25 mg 50 mg. Serious adverse reactions included atrial fibrillation (0.2%).

Toxicity

At doses of up to 400mg in healthy volunteers (~8x the recommended maximum), reported symptoms of overdose included palpitations and increased heart rate. Symptoms of chronic overdosage are similar in presentation and may also include a rise in systolic blood pressure. In cases of overdosage, employ standard symptomatic and supportive measures in addition to ECG monitoring.

Interaction

The effect of co-administered medicinal products on the pharmacokinetics of mirabegron and the effect of mirabegron on the pharmacokinetics of other medicinal products was studied in single- and multiple-dose studies. Most drug-drug interactions were studied using a dose of mirabegron 100 mg given as oral controlled absorption system (OCAS) tablets. Interaction studies of mirabegron with metoprolol and with metformin used mirabegron immediate-release (IR) 160 mg.

Clinically relevant drug interactions between mirabegron and medicinal products that inhibit, induce or are a substrate for one of the CYP isozymes or transporters are not expected, except for the inhibitory effect of mirabegron on the metabolism of CYP2D6 substrates.

Food Interaction

  • Take with food. While adults may take mirabegron with or without food, prescribing information recommends that children always co-administer mirabegron with food.

[Minor] Food reduces the oral absorption and bioavailability of mirabegron.

According to the product labeling, administration of a 50 mg tablet with a high-fat meal decreased mirabegron peak plasma concentration (Cmax) and systemic exposure (AUC) by 45% and 17%, respectively, whereas administration with a low-fat meal decreased mirabegron Cmax and AUC by 75% and 51%, respectively.

In phase 3 clinical studies demonstrating both safety and efficacy, mirabegron was administered without regards to food content and intake.

Therefore, mirabegron can be taken with or without food at the recommended dosage.

Uroben XR Tablet (Extended Release) 25 mg Hypertension interaction

[Moderate] Uroben XR Tablet (Extended Release) 25 mg can increase blood pressure.

In clinical studies, the use of mirabegron was associated with dose-related increases in supine blood pressure.

At the maximum recommended dose of 50 mg, the mean maximum increase in systolic

Worsening of preexisting hypertension was reported infrequently in patients receiving mirabegron.

Therapy with mirabegron should be administered cautiously in patients with hypertension.

Periodic blood pressure determinations are recommended.

Uroben XR Tablet (Extended Release) 25 mg is not recommended for use in patients with severe, uncontrolled hypertension, defined as systolic blood pressure >=180 mm Hg and

Uroben XR Tablet (Extended Release) 25 mg Disease Interaction

Moderate: urinary retention, hypertension, liver disease, renal dysfunction

Volume of Distribution

Following intravenous administration, mirabegron has an apparent steady-state volume of distribution (Vd) of 1670 L indicating extensive distribution.

Elimination Route

The absolute bioavailability of orally administered mirabegron ranges from 29% at a dose of 25 mg to 35% at a dose of 50 mg. The Tmax for the extended-release tablet and suspension formulations are approximately 3.5 hours, while the Tmax for the granule formulation is 4-5 hours. Both Cmax and AUC increase more than dose proportionally - an increase in dose from 50mg to 100mg results in a 2.9- and 2.6-fold increase in Cmax and AUC, respectively, whereas an increase from 50mg to 200mg results in a 8.4- and 6.5-fold increase in Cmax and AUC, respectively.

Steady-state concentrations of mirabegron are achieved after approximately 7 days of once-daily administration.

Half Life

The mean terminal elimination half-life of mirabegron in adults being treated for overactive bladder is approximately 50 hours. In pediatric patients receiving the granule formulation for the treatment of neurogenic detrusor overactivity, the mean terminal elimination half-life is approximately 26-31 hours.

Clearance

Total plasma clearance following intravenous administration is approximately 57 L/h, with renal clearance accounting for roughly 25% at approximately 13 L/h.

Elimination Route

Of a 160mg radiolabeled dose administered to healthy volunteers, approximately 55% of the radioactivity was recovered in the urine and 34% in the feces. Approximately 25% of unchanged mirabegron was recovered in the urine while 0% was recovered in the feces.

Renal elimination is achieved primarily via active tubular secretion with some contribution by glomerular filtration.
