Antipsychotic Use and the Risk of Initiating Medication for Benign Prostate Hyperplasia in Persons With Alzheimer Disease: A Matched Cohort Study : Journal of Clinical Psychopharmacology


Description

Antipsychotics (APs) are known to exacerbate symptoms of benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH) and may even cause urinary retention. The anticholinergic effects of APs and their dopamine D2- and α-receptor blockade may lead to voiding dysfunction of BPH patients. The objective of our study was to investigate whether the use of APs is associated with an increased risk of initiating medication for BPH in men with Alzheimer disease (AD)..
