“…Similarly, a previous study found that PTs were actively involved in identification of patients that required pharmacists' counselling. 30 However, to optimally achieve expected goals, effective training, adequate supervision, clear practice boundaries and adequate regulation and implementation of guiding principles are very essential.…”

“…The pharmacists' role involves provision of up-to date and clinically relevant drug information to prevent aggravation of LUTS, slow the clinical progression of BPH symptoms and improve patients' QoL [58]. The current patient-centred care of pharmacy practice has enhanced in-depth medication-related communication [59,60] for increased benefits. This communication is achieved during medicine dispensing [59,60], monitoring or routine drug information services [55].…”

Background Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and the use of CCBs are common in older persons, and are also associated with lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS). This review summarised and synthesised relevant information and recent advances to improve clinical knowledge on the role of CCBs in LUTS, BPH symptoms and health-related quality of life. Main body of the abstract A search of databases of PubMed, Web of science, Hinari, and Google scholar was performed using several keywords. Relevant studies were also extracted from references of identified studies. Selected studies were assessed for content related to CCBs, BPH and LUTS, and the most relevant reports were included. The inhibition of calcium channels by CCBs interferes with influx of extracellular Ca2+ into the detrusor muscle, which interferes with bladder contraction and relaxation. Hence, CCBs are associated with precipitation or aggravation of urinary storage and voiding symptoms, which are also common symptoms of BPH. This suggests a potential aggravation of BPH symptoms with the use of CCBs. Short conclusion Persons at high risk of LUTS such as in BPH, may benefit from other classes of antihypertensive drugs. Therefore, it is essential to identify persons with BPH prior to commencement of therapy with CCBs. Patients on CCBs should be routinely reviewed for any potential precipitation or aggravation of LUTS. Patients should also be counselled to notify their healthcare provider of unusual urinary symptoms during CCB use. This will facilitate enhanced quality of life in patients with BPH.
