About Betmiga 50mg Pr Tablet

Betmiga 50mg Pr Tablet belongs to the group of medications called ‘urinary antagonists' or 'antispasmodics' primarily used to treat overactive bladder (OAB) symptoms.

In an overactive bladder, muscle contractions occur before the full expansion of the bladder, causing the patient to have frequent urges to urinate. Betmiga 50mg Pr Tablet stops these sudden contractions of urinary bladder muscles, thereby enabling control over urination. Thus, it increases the amount and volume of urine that can be held by the bladder.
