Hi,I am Dr. Amitkumar Sharma (Internal Medicine Specialist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have been taking oxibutyin for leaky bladder for years.. my doctor just suggested what he said was a newer, better medicine called Myrbetriq .. But when I husband went to have the prescription filled it was $60 ! Is Myrbetriq better than oxibutyin? YYYY@YYYY
Hi Thanks for your query. I appreciate your concern for the comparative efficacy of Myrbetriq over Oxybutynin.
From the safety and efficacy point of view, Myrbetriq is a better alternative to Oxybutyin.
This drug (Myrbetriq) has a different mechanism of action by which it controls the symptoms (urgency and frequency of urination) of over active and is well tolerated overall. The well known side effects of Oxybutyin like increase heart beat, dry mouth, constipation, and blurred vision are less likely to occur with Myrbetriq.
Hope this answers your query., Rate this answer if you are convinced.
