维贝格龙副作用与注意事项

Vibegron is a new drug used to treat overactive bladder (OAB). It relieves symptoms such as urgency and frequency of urination by stimulating β3 adrenergic receptors. Although its efficacy is remarkable, patients still need to pay attention to possible side effects and medication precautions during use. This article will introduce in detail the common side effects, medication precautions and indications of Vibegroron to help patients use this drug more safely and effectively.

Side effects of Vibegroron

It has been well tolerated in clinical applications, but it may still cause some adverse reactions. Understanding these side effects can help patients identify and take countermeasures in time.

Common adverse reactions

Clinical data show that patients taking Vibegroron may experience adverse reactions such as headache, urinary tract infection, nasopharyngitis, diarrhea, nausea and upper respiratory tract infection. These symptoms are usually mild and tolerated by most patients.

Serious Adverse Reactions

Vibegron may cause urinary retention, especially in patients with bladder outlet obstruction or concomitant use of muscarinic antagonists. Additionally, rare cases of angioedema, manifesting as swelling of the face and throat, have been reported, which may be life-threatening and require immediate discontinuation of the medication and medical attention.

Patients should return for regular follow-up visits and provide feedback to the doctor on their physical reactions after taking the medication so that the treatment plan can be adjusted in a timely manner.

Precautions for Vibegroron

Patients need to pay special attention to the following matters when taking Vibegeron.

Be alert for angioedema

Patients taking Vibegroron may develop angioedema of the face and/or throat, which may occur within hours after the first dose or may occur after multiple doses. If angioedema involves the tongue, hypopharynx, or larynx, use of Vibegroron should be discontinued immediately and appropriate treatment provided and/or necessary measures taken to ensure a patent airway.

Drug interactions

Vibegron will increase the blood concentration of digoxin. When the two are used together, digoxin levels should be closely monitored and the dose adjusted in a timely manner. At the same time, avoid combining it with other drugs that may affect bladder function to prevent aggravation of adverse reactions.

Patients should truthfully inform their doctors about all medications they are taking, including prescription drugs, over-the-counter drugs, and supplements, to avoid potential drug interactions.

Indications of Vibegeron

Verbegeron is mainly used to treat specific types of bladder dysfunction, and its indications have a clear scope limit.

Overactive bladder in adults

Vibegron is indicated for the treatment of overactive bladder in adults with symptoms of urge incontinence, urinary urgency and frequency. It can effectively relieve symptoms and improve patients' quality of life.

OAB symptoms in BPH patients

For adult men who are receiving medical treatment for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), Vibegroron can improve the accompanying symptoms of overactive bladder, including urinary urgency, frequency and urge incontinence.
