Children mirabegron

Hi

My son 12 put on a low dose for his bladder problems- however, today we have had upset stomach and only taken it for a few days. I know this can be a side effect but wondered if anyone else has used this etc

Thanks in advance

Hi Jayjay how did your son go on? Did the consultant or GP do any tests before and during the use of this medication - like blood pressure/heart activity?

Our consultant has said to go on it but GP and I are concerned about possible side effects as not liscenced for use in children as only 1 small trial done.

Am I being over cautious? Did it help symptoms?

Hi

We just had a blood pressure check - I wasn’t keen but I am desperate!!!

So after a think I decided to go for it but after 3 weeks it didn’t work so I stopped it . My son also experienced mood swings - lots of anger and headaches which were not pleasant so gp agreed best not to continue. So back to square one ...
