What Causes Blood In Urine While On Myrbetriq?

I am a 75 yr. old male in excellent physical condition. I am an avid bicycle rider and am now training to ride the Tour de Tucson. However, today I noticed blood in my urine. I am taking Myrbetriq (50mg) for irritable bladder syndrome. I have been taking this drug since March of this year. In the last month or so, I have noticed an improvement in my ability to go through the night with only getting once. I used to get up 3 to 5 times to urinate in the night. I also noticed recently, the stream has been stronger and more normal. Until today. I had a blood in the urine about an hour after dinner, and again about 2 hours after the first episode. Should I watch for continued blood in the urine, or more hopefully, the urine clearing up? Thank you for any light you might shed on this problem.

Hi,

The drug does not appear to be related to blood in the urine. Blood in urine in people over 40 years need assessments.

Most of the times it's not serious and caused by infection, or heavy exercises like cycling can.

Also so it. But it's important to be checked by doctor and get urine analysis done.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
