These contractions cause symptoms like:

• Urgency: a sudden need to urinate that is difficult to control

• Frequency: urinating often

A SIMPLE ROUTINE

HERE’S HOW GEMTESA WORKS

M3 (muscarinic) receptor

β3 receptor

GEMTESA is a type of medication called a “beta3-agonist,” which is designed to help relax your bladder muscle so it can hold more urine. This helps to reduce the need to run to the bathroom and the number of leakages that you may experience.

GEMTESA activates the beta3 receptors, allowing the bladder to relax:

GEMTESA has been proven in clinical trials to be effective and well-tolerated.
