Mirabegron + Silodosin

Introduction

Mirabegron + Silodosin is a combination medicine used to treat urinary symptoms associated with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and overactive bladder (OAB). Mirabegron is a beta-3 adrenergic agonist that relaxes bladder muscles to increase its capacity, while Silodosin is an alpha-blocker that relaxes the muscles in the prostate and bladder neck, making it easier to urinate. Together, they improve urinary flow, reduce urgency, and help manage frequency and incontinence in men with lower urinary tract symptoms.

Uses of Mirabegron + Silodosin

• Overactive bladder (OAB)
• Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH)
• Urinary urgency and frequency
• Nocturia (frequent urination at night)
• Incomplete bladder emptying

How Mirabegron + Silodosin Works

Mirabegron activates beta-3 receptors in the bladder, relaxing the bladder muscles to increase storage capacity. Silodosin blocks alpha-1 receptors in the prostate and bladder neck, allowing smoother urine flow. Together, they reduce urinary urgency, frequency, and improve the overall ability to pass urine without obstruction or discomfort.
