What is Gemtesa?

Gemtesa is a selective beta-3 adrenergic agonist that affects the muscles in the bladder.

Gemtesa is used in adults to treat the symptoms of overactive bladder.

Gemtesa helps improve:

  • urge urinary incontinence: a strong need to urinate with leaking or wetting accidents:
  • urgency: the need to urinate right away: and
