See below: The most frequent adverse events (0.2%) leading to discontinuation in Studies for the 25 mg or 50 mg dose were nausea, headache, hypertension, diarrhea, constipation, dizziness and tachycardia. It is quite possible that diarrhea is related to the use of the medication. Consult with her physician for further advice. Best of health to your mother and you.

Not likely: Diarrhea is not a common side effect of Myrbetriq, so it’s not likely the cause. One thing to consider is how recently after she started taking it the diarrhea started and whether other, more likely causes might be identified.
