Objective:
To explore the association between drugs and urinary retention using the FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERs) database and Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis, providing preliminary insights into the underlying mechanisms.
Methods:
Drug-adverse reaction reports from the FAERs database from 2004 to 2023 were obtained, and MR analysis was conducted to further validate the causal relationship between drugs and urinary retention using genetic data provided by the IEU OpenGWAS project.
Results:
We identified 78 drugs associated with urinary retention, including Mirabegron, Tiotropium, Quetiapine, Amlodipine, etc. MR analysis indicated genetic markers (SNPs rs10500326, rs4815689, and rs1216743) of Amlodipine were associated with an increased risk of urinary retention. Sensitivity analysis demonstrated the robustness and reliability of the results.
Conclusion:
This study identified various drugs associated with urinary retention, particularly Amlodipine. This finding provides new clues for further investigation into the mechanisms of drug effects on bladder function and offers important references for clinical practice. However, further randomized controlled trials are needed to validate these associations and explore deeper mechanisms.

This process, termed pharmacovigilance, aims to detect, evaluate, and minimize harmful effects related to medication use. The data collection for pharmacovigilance depends on spontaneous reporting systems, where healthcare professionals or patients voluntarily report suspected ADRs.

01:11Renal Failure: Dose Adjustments
Reduced renal clearance and elimination rate are common outcomes of renal impairment. These alterations lead to a prolonged elimination half-life and an altered apparent volume of distribution for drugs. As a result, dosage adjustments are typically necessary to maintain optimal drug levels in the body.
However, dosage adjustments...
