How vibegron is dosed

From the FDA label for Gemtesa (application NDA213006). Other vibegron products — different forms, different strengths — are dosed differently. Follow the label for the one you were prescribed.

The recommended dose is one 75 mg tablet orally once daily. ( 2.1 ) Swallow tablet whole with water. ( 2.1 ) Tablet may be crushed and mixed with applesauce. ( 2.1 ) 2.1 Recommended Dosage The recommended dosage of GEMTESA is one 75 mg tablet orally, once daily with or without food. Swallow GEMTESA tablets whole with a glass of water. In adults, GEMTESA tablets also may be crushed, mixed with a tablespoon (approximately 15 mL) of applesauce and taken immediately with a glass of water [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )] .

Vibegron side effects

The following clinically significant adverse reaction is described elsewhere in the labeling: Urinary retention [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.1 )] Most common adverse reactions (≥2%) reported with GEMTESA were headache, urinary tract infection, nasopharyngitis, diarrhea, nausea, and upper respiratory tract infection. ( 6.1 ) To report SUSPECTED ADVERSE REACTIONS, contact Sumitomo Pharma America, Inc. at 1-833-876-8268 or FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088 or www.fda.gov/medwatch . 6.1 Clinical Trials Experience Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in practice. Overactive Bladder in Adults The safety of GEMTESA was evaluated in a 12-week, double-blind, placebo- and active-controlled study (Study 3003) in patients with OAB [see Clinical Studies ( 14.1 )] . A total of 545 patients received GEMTESA. The majority of the patients were White (78%) and female (85%) with a mean age of 60 years (range 18 to 93 years). Adverse reactions that were reported in Study 3003 at an incidence greater than placebo and in ≥2% of patients treated with GEMTESA are listed in Table 1 . Table 1: Adverse Reactions, Exceeding Placebo Rate, Reported in ≥2% of Patients Treated with GEMTESA 75 mg for up to…

Who shouldn’t take vibegron

GEMTESA is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to vibegron or any components of GEMTESA. Hypersensitivity reactions, such as angioedema, have occurred [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.2 ) and Adverse Reactions ( 6.2 )] . Do not use if prior hypersensitivity reaction to vibegron or any components of the product. ( 4 )

Vibegron drug interactions

Concomitant use of GEMTESA increases digoxin maximal concentrations (C max ) and systemic exposure as assessed by area under the concentration-time curve (AUC) [see Clinical Pharmacology ( 12.3 )] . Serum digoxin concentrations should be monitored before initiating and during therapy with GEMTESA and used for titration of the digoxin dose to obtain the desired clinical effect. Continue monitoring digoxin concentrations upon discontinuation of GEMTESA and adjust digoxin dose as needed. Digoxin : Measure serum digoxin concentrations before initiating GEMTESA. Monitor serum digoxin concentrations to titrate digoxin dose to desired clinical effect. ( 7 )

Can you crush or split vibegron?

At least one vibegronproduct is labelled to be swallowed whole — crushing an extended-release tablet releases the whole day’s dose at once. Which applies depends on the form you were given.

What each vibegron label says about crushing, splitting and chewing

What people report to the FDA about vibegron

The FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) collects reports from patients and clinicians. It holds 530 reports naming vibegron, and the FDA flagged 90% of those reports as serious. The effects reported most often — leaving out reports about overdose, misuse or the condition being treated, which dominate the raw list for common medicines:

  • urinary retention33 reports
  • decreased appetite23 reports
  • seizure22 reports
  • fall20 reports
  • fatigue19 reports
  • constipation18 reports
  • diarrhoea16 reports
  • gait disturbance16 reports

Read these as a signal, not a rate. A report does not mean vibegron caused the effect — anyone can file one, and many describe people taking several medicines for several conditions. Crucially there is no denominator: FAERS does not record how many people took the drug, so these counts cannot be turned into “X% of patients” — a bigger number often just means a more widely used or more talked-about drug. Duplicates exist, and publicity drives reporting. For what is actually established, read the FDA label section above.

Frequently asked questions

What is vibegron?

Gemtesa (Vibegron) is a medication used to treat Overactive Urinary Bladder.

Can you take vibegron with other medicines?

It depends on the medicine. We check it against the FDA labels rather than guessing: our interaction checker searches each drug's own label for the other and quotes what it says, naming the section it came from. Run vibegron against whatever else you take — and remember that a label not naming a drug is not the same as that combination being safe.

What forms does vibegron come in?

Across the brands we track, vibegron is currently marketed as tablet, per the FDA's National Drug Code Directory. Each form is dosed differently — follow the label for the exact product you were prescribed.

Is there a generic vibegron?

We do not currently list a generic-labelled vibegron product. That does not always mean none exists — it means none appears under a generic name in the FDA data we track. Ask your pharmacist.
