Internal Medicine Specialist, Dr. Divakara's Response
HI Thanks for posting your query to Healthcaremagic.
MYRBETRIQ is a medicine that is given for Overactive Bladder. In overactive bladder there will be increased frequency of urination along with urgency to pass the urine . These symptoms are more pronounced when the patient is awake ( during the day ) and hence it has been particularly advised to take it in the morning only .
Feeling tired is a know side effect of this drug but it shall wear off with continued use of the medicine. So let him continue taking it in the morning only .
I also advise him to get his Hemoglobin tested as low Hemoglobin can contribute to tired feeling .
Hope this information was useful to you. Any clarifications feel free to ask .
