What is a Generic in Canada? Health Canada (the Canadian regulatory board) evaluates every Canadian generic for their safety, effectiveness, and quality. Every generic used in Canada has the same medical ingredients as their brand name counterpart and is considered bioequivalent to the brand name medication. The quality standards for brand name drugs and generic drugs are the same. All of the ingredients, facilities, and manufacturing processes must meet Canadian federal guidelines for Good Manufacturing Practices. In addition, Canadian generic manufacturers must perform 'comparative bioavailability' studies to demonstrate that their generic products deliver the same amount of medicinal ingredient at the same rate as the brand name medication. Nearly 45% of all prescriptions filled in Canada use generic medication and some hospitals exclusively use generic drugs.

What is Myrbetriq for?
Close to 30 percent of men and 40 percent of women living in the United States live with overactive bladder symptoms. Symptoms include urinary frequency, nocturia, sudden urge to urinate and urinary incontinance. Myrbetriq, a beta-3 adrenergic agonist, was approved by the FDA in June 28,2012 for the treatment of overactive bladder. Myrbetriq is an effective treatment that helps approximately 3 out of 5 patients suffering from overactive bladder problems.
Myrbetriq's Mechanism of Action
Myrbetriq is available as an ER (extended release) formulation. It has a special coating formulated to give it a longer lasting effect which only needs to be taken once a day. By activating the β3‑AR, myrbetriq relaxes the bladders smooth muscle, reducing the symptoms of an overactive bladder.
