Helpful Screening Questions to Evaluate for OAB and Incontinence 1 Question Do you get sudden urges to go to the bathroom that can t be ignored? How often do you go to the bathroom? More than 8 times per day? Do you have uncontrolled urges to urinate that sometimes result in wetting accidents? Do you leak urine on the way to the bathroom? Do you frequently get up 2 or more times during the night to go to the bathroom? Do you avoid places you think won t have a nearby restroom? When you are in an unfamiliar place, do you make sure to find out where the restroom is? Do you leak urine when you laugh, cough, or sneeze? Do you use absorbent pads to keep from wetting your clothes? Possible Condition OAB OAB UUI UUI OAB OAB or UUI OAB or UUI SUI SUI or UUI Defining LUTS 2-5 Frequency Nocturia Urgency UUI OAB Wet OAB Dry Warning Time Patient considers that he/she voids too often by day Normal is <8 times per 24 hours Waking at night to void Likely clinically meaningful if frequency is greater than twice a night Sudden compelling desire to pass urine that is difficult to defer Involuntary leakage accompanied by, or immediately preceded by, urgency OAB with UUI OAB without UUI Time from first sensation of urgency to voiding
Assessment of OAB Polypharmacology: Who Is at Risk? 6-8 Sedatives, psychotropic drugs Alcohol, caffeine, diuretics Anticholinergics α-agonists ß-blockers Calcium-channel blockers ACE inhibitors First-generation antihistamines Cholinesterase inhibitors Opioids SSRIs Gabapentin, glitazones, NSAIDs Confusion, secondary incontinence Diuresis Impair contractility, voiding difficulty, overflow incontinence Increased outlet resistance, voiding difficulty Decreased urethral closure, stress incontinence Reduce bladder smooth muscle contractility, constipation, retention, edema Induce cough, increase contractility, stress urinary incontinence Increase outlet resistance Precipitate urge incontinence Indirect effect, retention, constipation, confusion, immobility Urinary incontinence Edema, nocturia Disease/Conditions: Who Is at Risk? T2DM 9,10 Heart failure 10,11 Nocturia 12 Sleep apnea 10 Neurological disease 10 Stroke Parkinson s disease NPH Psychiatric conditions 10 Depression Dementia 13-16 Multi-infarct/vascular Frontotemporal Parkinson s dementia Dementia with Lewy bodies Alzheimer s ACE: angiotensin converting enzyme; LUTS: lower urinary tract symptom; NPH: normal pressure hydrocephalus; OAB: overactive bladder; SSRI: selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor; SUI: stress urinary incontinence; T2DM: type 2 diabetes mellitus; UUI: urge urinary incontinence. 1.

Mechanism of Action of Mirabegron and Its Role in OAB Therapy This Practice Aid has been provided as a quick reference to help learners apply the information to their daily practice and care of patients. It is part of the activity Overcoming the Barriers to Individualized Management of Overactive Bladder in the Primary Care Setting, which can be found in its entirety at. Mechanism of Action Mirabegron relaxes the detrusor smooth muscle during the storage phase of the urinary bladder fill-void cycle by activation of β 3 adrenergic receptor and increases bladder capacity. Detrusor smooth muscle (Relaxation) NE β 3 -agonist Norepinephrine β 3 -AR Prescribing Information 1,2 Starting dose: 25 mg with or without food Effective within 8 weeks; may increase to 50 mg Do not cut, crush, or chew Max dose 25 mg with severe renal impairment or moderate hepatic impairment ESRD and severe hepatic impairment not recommended Mirabegron is a CYP2D6 inhibitor May increase BP; periodically monitor BP if hypertensive; don t use in severe uncontrolled HTN
Mechanism of Action of Mirabegron and Its Role in OAB Therapy Where Does This Fit in Therapy? 2 Potential for use in first-line therapy Use in patients who Cannot tolerate an antimuscarinic OAB drug Have contraindications to or could be harmed by drugs with anticholinergic properties β 3 -AR: β 3 adrenergic receptor; ESRD: end-stage renal disease; HTN: hypertension; NE: norepinephrine; OAB: overactive bladder. 1.
