Angioedema of the face, lips, tongue, and/or larynx has been reported with use of mirabegron (Ref); mirabegron-associated angioedema may be life-threatening. Angioedema may be reversible following discontinuation of mirabegron (Ref).
Mechanism: Not clearly established; likely nonallergic (ie, bradykinin-mediated) (Ref).
Onset: Varied; cases have occurred hours after the first dose or after multiple doses.
Dose-related cardiovascular effects have been described with use of mirabegron, including hypertension, tachycardia, and palpitations (Ref). Changes in cardiovascular parameters associated with mirabegron do not appear to confer an increased risk for adverse cardiovascular events (eg, stroke, myocardial infarction) (Ref). Symptoms may improve or resolve following discontinuation (Ref). Exacerbation of preexisting hypertension has been infrequently reported.
Oftentimes, increases in blood pressure and heart rate are not clinically significant (eg, systolic blood pressure increased ~3.5/1.5 mm Hg; heart rate increased <5 beats per minute [bpm] following mirabegron 50 mg) (Ref). In pediatric patients, increases in blood pressure are larger in younger children (ages 3 to <12 years) as compared to older children and adolescents (ages 12 to <18 years). When administered at supratherapeutic doses (ie, 200 mg/day), QTc prolongation was observed (Ref); however, use of therapeutic doses does not appear to increase the risk of QT prolongation (Ref). Mirabegron does not differ with regards to risk of cardiovascular adverse effects when compared to antimuscarinic agents (eg, solifenacin) (Ref).
Mechanism: Dose-related; related to the pharmacologic action. In addition to β3-adrenoreceptor (AR) stimulation, mirabegron stimulates β1-AR at high doses which may result in positive chronotropic effects, including increased systolic blood pressure and heart rate and decreased stroke volume (Ref).
Onset: Varied. Cardiovascular effects were evident during the first month of treatment (Ref); an ascending-dose study in healthy volunteers noted changes in blood pressure and heart rate within 3 hours of administration (Ref). In one trial, palpitations developed between 45 minutes and 10 days of initiation of therapy (Ref).
Risk factors:
• Increased blood pressure:
- Prior history of hypertension (use is not recommended in adult patients with severe uncontrolled hypertension [SBP ≥180 and/or DBP ≥110 mm Hg])
- Younger children (ages 3 to <12 years) as compared to older children and adolescents (ages 12 to <18 years) (use is not recommended in any pediatric patient with severe uncontrolled hypertension ([SBP and/or DBP >99th percentile plus 5 mm Hg for age, sex, and stature])
• QT prolongation:
- History of QT interval prolongation or concomitant medications known to prolong the QT interval (Ref)
Use of mirabegron may result in urinary retention, especially in patients with bladder outlet obstruction, benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), and/or with use of concomitant muscarinic antagonists (eg, solifenacin, tolterodine) (Ref). However, in a pooled 12-week analysis of phase III clinical trials, the incidence of urinary retention was negligible in patients treated with mirabegron and changes in postvoid residual volume (PVR) were similar to placebo (Ref). In addition, patients receiving mirabegron with risk factors for urinary retention (eg, males, presence of lower urinary tract symptoms, concomitant use of antimuscarinic agents) have been shown to have a low rate of urinary retention or changes in PVR (Ref).
Mechanism: Unknown; must also consider the impact of concomitant medications and patient-specific risk factors (Ref).
Risk factors:
• Bladder outlet obstruction
• BPH (Ref)
• History of PVR >200 mL (Ref)
• Concomitant use of antimuscarinic agents (eg, solifenacin)
• Increasing age (eg, risk increases with age ≥40 years) (Ref)
• Males (Ref)

Concerns related to adverse effects:
• Angioedema: Immediately discontinue and institute supportive care if the tongue, hypopharynx, or larynx is involved.
Disease-related concerns:
• Hepatic impairment: Use with caution in patients with mild to moderate hepatic impairment; dosage adjustment is required in patients with moderate hepatic impairment. Use is not recommended in severe hepatic impairment.

• Renal impairment: Use with caution in patients with renal impairment; dosage adjustment is required in patients with severe renal impairment. Use is not recommended in ESRD.
Dosage form specific issues:
• Product interchangeability: ER granules and ER tablets are not interchangeable; do not combine products to achieve a total dose. Select appropriate product based on patient's indication and weight; ER granules are not approved for adult use (recommended dose not determined).
Increased blood pressure may occur in patients treated with mirabegron; increases are larger in younger children (ages 3 to <12 years) compared to older children and adolescents (12 to <18 years). Use is not recommended in pediatric patients with severe uncontrolled hypertension (SBP and/or DBP >99th percentile plus 5 mm Hg for age, sex, and stature).

Adverse effects have been observed in some animal reproduction studies.
It is not known if mirabegron is present in breast milk. According to the manufacturer, the decision to continue or discontinue breastfeeding during therapy should take into account the risk of infant exposure, the benefits of breastfeeding to the infant, and benefits of treatment to the mother.
Monitor BP at baseline and then periodically during therapy (especially in patients with preexisting hypertension, even if controlled); postvoid residual urine volume at baseline and as clinically indicated thereafter (AUA [Lerner 2021]); signs and symptoms of urinary retention.
Mirabegron, a beta-3 adrenergic receptor agonist, activates beta-3 adrenergic receptors in the bladder resulting in relaxation of the detrusor smooth muscle during the urine storage phase, thus increasing bladder capacity. At usual doses, mirabegron is believed to display selectivity for the beta-3 adrenergic receptor subtype compared to its affinity for the beta-1 and -2 adrenoceptor subtypes. Data have shown that beta-adrenoceptors, predominately the beta-3 subtype, mediate detrusor smooth muscle tone and promote the storage function of the human bladder.

Altered kidney function: Following single dose administration of mirabegron 100 mg in adults with mild renal impairment (eGFR 60 to 89 mL/minute/1.73 m2 as estimated by modification of diet in renal disease), mean mirabegron Cmax and AUC were increased by 6% and 31% relative to adults with normal renal function. In adults with moderate renal impairment (eGFR 30 to 59 mL/minute/1.73 m2), Cmax and AUC were increased by 23% and 66%, respectively. In adults with severe renal impairment (eGFR 15 to 29 mL/minute/1.73 m2), mean Cmax and AUC values were 92% and 118% higher compared with healthy subjects with normal renal function.
Hepatic impairment: Following single-dose administration of mirabegron 100 mg in adults with mild hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh class A), mean mirabegron Cmax and AUC were increased by 9% and 19% relative to adults with normal hepatic function. In adults with moderate hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh class B), mean Cmax and AUC values were 175% and 65% higher.
Sex: The Cmax and AUC of mirabegron were ~40% to 50% higher in adult females than in adult males. When corrected for differences in body weight, the mirabegron systemic exposure is 20% to 30% higher in adult females compared with adult males.
