Investigation of the reasons for withdrawal from long-term treatment with mirabegron of treatment-na & #239;ve Japanese female patients with overactive bladder in the real-world clinical setting

Conclusions: The persistence rate of treatment with mirabegron among treatment-naïve Japanese female patients with OAB is low for 3 years in the real-world clinical setting. Many patients discontinue the treatment for various reasons, the most frequent of which is symptom resolution. These findings provide important considerations for clinicians whose patients are continuing medication for OAB.
