Has anyone had side affects after taking Myrbetriq?

Posted by mauiboy89 @mauiboy89, 1 day ago

I have been taking Myrbetriq for two weeks now, I have been experiencing itching on my arms and calves. Has anyone had the same experience?

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Prostate Cancer Support Group.

I’ve been on it for at least a year and a half. I’ve had no itching in those areas after starting it.

I do get some itching in my hips and the middle of my back, The skin has turned slightly darker color in those spots. I’ve been going on since before I started Myrbetriq. I think it’s from Orgovyx or Nubeqa. Are you on either of those?

I was on Myrbetriq for about a year and don't remember any side effects. It did help reduce the number of bathroom trips at night, once they increased the dose from 25mg to 50mg.

It sounds like you might be allergic to one of the ingredients in the tablet.

Might want to let your doctor know and try switching to Gemtesa. It is the other beta3 medication with the same action on the bladder as Myrbetriq. Both are brand medications about the same cost if covered. I have been taking Gemtesa and have had no side effects.

Thanks! I am Lactose Intolerant, I'll have to check if it contains any dairy.

I have been on Lupron for 4 months without any problems.
