What is Gemtesa, and what is it used for?

Vibegron works by blocking beta-3 adrenergic receptors in the bladder. This relaxes the bladder muscle and helps the bladder hold urine more comfortably, which can reduce urgency and how often people need to urinate.

How is Gemtesa taken?

Gemtesa is taken as an oral tablet once daily (the prescribing regimen is described in the product labeling).
