Can I take Mirabegron astellas and Rivaroxaban together?

Why this happens

Mirabegron and rivaroxaban are processed by different pathways in the body. Mirabegron is primarily broken down by enzymes called CYP3A4 and CYP2D6, while rivaroxaban is processed by CYP3A4 and a transport protein called P-gp. While they share the CYP3A4 pathway, studies show that mirabegron does not significantly change the levels of drugs like rivaroxaban in the blood.

What you should do

You can take both medications as prescribed by your doctor. However, always monitor for any unusual side effects, such as unexpected bruising or bleeding (related to rivaroxaban) or a very fast heartbeat (related to mirabegron). If you notice anything unusual, contact your GP or pharmacist.
