🔬 How This Medicine Works (Pharmacology)

Pharmacokinetics

AbsorptionThis medicine is absorbed orally, with peak plasma concentrations typically reached about 3 to 4 hours after administration. The absolute bioavailability is approximately 29% to 35%. Food does not significantly affect the absorption of this medicine.

DistributionThis medicine is widely distributed in the body. The volume of distribution is approximately 1670 liters, indicating extensive distribution into tissues. It is not known whether it crosses the blood-brain barrier or placenta.

Protein BindingThis medicine is approximately 71% bound to plasma proteins, primarily albumin and alpha-1-acid glycoprotein.

MetabolismThis medicine is metabolized in the liver primarily through glucuronidation, with some contribution from oxidation. It is a substrate for UDP-glucuronosyltransferase enzymes, particularly UGT2B7. It also undergoes some metabolism by CYP2D6 and CYP3A4, but these pathways are minor.

Half-LifeThe elimination half-life of this medicine is approximately 50 hours in healthy volunteers, which supports once-daily dosing.

ExcretionThis medicine is excreted primarily in the urine (about 55%) and feces (about 34%) as unchanged drug and metabolites. Renal clearance is a minor route of elimination.

BioavailabilityThe absolute bioavailability of this medicine is approximately 29% to 35%.

Onset of ActionThe onset of action for this medicine is not immediate; it may take several days to weeks to notice improvement in symptoms. In clinical trials, some patients experienced relief within 2 weeks, but full effects may take up to 8 weeks.

Peak Plasma TimeThe peak plasma time for this medicine is approximately 3 to 4 hours after oral administration.

Duration of ActionThe duration of action of this medicine is approximately 24 hours, allowing for once-daily dosing.

How It Works

This medicine works by selectively stimulating beta-3 adrenergic receptors in the detrusor muscle of the urinary bladder. This stimulation leads to relaxation of the detrusor muscle during the storage phase of the bladder, thereby increasing bladder capacity and reducing the frequency of contractions that cause urgency and incontinence. Unlike antimuscarinic drugs, this medicine does not block acetylcholine receptors, which may result in a lower incidence of dry mouth and constipation.

Mechanism Steps

1

Binding to beta-3 adrenergic receptors: This medicine binds selectively to beta-3 adrenergic receptors located on the detrusor muscle cells of the bladder.

2

Activation of intracellular signaling: Binding leads to activation of adenylyl cyclase, which increases cyclic AMP levels within the cell.

3

Relaxation of detrusor muscle: Increased cyclic AMP causes relaxation of the detrusor muscle, allowing the bladder to hold more urine without involuntary contractions.

4

Reduction in urgency and frequency: The relaxed bladder muscle reduces the sensation of urgency and the number of times a person needs to urinate.
