Hi

I have been prescribed Mirabegron to stop me getting up seven times a night for the loo.

Although I cannot be sure, I think my flow is getting much slower.

Urology nurse said to stop taking them and I now have an appointment with a Urologist.

Has anybody been prescribed these tablets?

Flow problems are not an advertised side effect.

Any experience out there?

Hi Alan

I tried these and they made no difference whatsoever

Now back on Oxybutinin which seem to be doing the trick and helping

Very best

I started on 5 mg second week 10 mg and third week 15 mg. My getting up at night has certainly improved. No side effects so far. Perhaps you could ask to try a different tablet. There is also Vesicare which I think is a little more up to date.

Hi Gary
I am getting up seven times a night and was hoping for some improvement.
I have to say, I didn’t give the Mirabegron much chance to work.
How long did the Oxy take to work?
Have they changed your frequency?

Do you have any side effects with Oxybutinin?

Hi Gary

I saw the Urologist today.

It wasn’t what I hoped for. He said there was nothing to be done about getting up 7 or 8 times a night.

However, he did give me some Oxybutynin.

You said 5, then 10, then 15mg.

He has given me 2.5mg.

Hi Alan

When I first took Oxybutinin 2.5 mg it had little effect on me. The 15mg seems to be doing the trick and I believe you can take up to 20mg. I would assume the Urologist knows best in your case.

Hi Gary

 

I think it is because of my age.

I think they are wary of giving too much too "older" ;-) people.

I have been on Mirabegron now for 10 weeks and the overnight peeing has reduced from around 6 to 2 but it took 4-6 weeks for this to happen. At the end of April I had a flexible cystoscopy - bladder OK - and advised to keep on with them. Seeing urologist at end of August.

The peeing is also less uncomfortable but very slow and dribbly on the o/n pees but often much less so during the day.

saw different gp today never hardly see the same one,regarding tolterodine and tamsolusin for oab,he is not a fan he said that they will be ok for a few months because your body gets used to them,he is more of a fan of bladder training which he gave me a note sheet on what to do,it lasts 4wks,for the 1st week wait 5mns before peeing then just increase it by 5mns up to 4wks,i will give it a try to see if it helps instead of taking different meds at the same time and the side effects,has anyone else done bladder training and does it help.

Bladder training is effective if your bladder is still in mechanically good order. Pads and the sheath systems can also aid hanging on the extra few minutes. Keeping a log of intake and out put will also help analyse the problem. 

Thanks Chris

I have been on Mirabegron for about 3 months now after RT late side effects caused me increased frequency of painful peeing. They seem to have done the trick as the 6-7 times a night has reduced to 1-2 times a night. Still very slow on overnight pees but reasonable glow during the day when I am more active. We
