- Abstract
Mirabegron has different mechanism of actions by which it overcomes the adverse effects such as dry mouth and constipation associated with anti-muscarinic in current use for overactive urinary balder (OAB). The aim of this study was to determine the effect of Mirabegron on sperm activity and morphology. The study evaluated the activity of sperm cells after the use of mirabegron for three months by automated semen analysis by SQA Vision. Results show that mirabegron (6 mg/kg/day, orally) slightly increased the count and density of the sperms, increases the rate of deformity, and decreases the motility of the sperm cells. In conclusion, high dose and prolonged use of Mirabegron can potentially cause damage to sperm cells and result in reproductive toxicity although, it is safe at therapeutic dosage.
