When can efficacy typically be seen with Beta-3 agonists for OAB?

Within 2 weeks
Within 6 weeks
Within 8 weeks
Within 12 weeks

The correct answer is: Within 8 weeks

Beta-3 agonists are medications used to treat overactive bladder (OAB) by relaxing the bladder muscles, thereby increasing the bladder's capacity to hold urine. In general, it typically takes around 6 to 8 weeks to see the full efficacy of Beta-3 agonists in patients with OAB. Therefore, the correct answer is within 8 weeks (Option C). This timeframe allows the medication to reach steady state in the body and for the patient to experience the full therapeutic benefits. Options A, B, and D are incorrect as they do not align with the typical timeline for Beta-3 agonists to show efficacy in OAB.
