ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Antimuscarinic (AM) and beta-3-agonist (B3A) treatment are the standard first-line pharmacological treatment used to manage overactive bladder (OAB) patients. Aim of our study was to analyze real-life data of adverse events related to AMs and B3A reported on Eudra-Vigilance (EV) Database.METHODS:
EV database is the system for managing and analyzing information on suspected adverse reactions to medicines which have been authorized or being studied in clinical trials in the European Economic Area (EEA). We recorded the number of AEs for antimuscarinic and beta-3-agonist per category and severity until January 2021.RESULTS:
Overall, 2313 AEs were reported for oxybutinin, 5129 for solifenacin, 2483 for tolterodine, 3523 for fesoterodine, 787 for trospium, 621 for propiverine and 7213 for mirabegron. Urinary retention was higher for fesoterodine (43%) and tolterodine (23%) when compared to solifenacin (10%), mirabegron (11%) and oxybutinin (4%). Cognitive disorder was uncommon for all the analyzed drugs analyzed. Regarding anticolinergic AEs vision blurred, dry mouth and constipation were higher for AMs when compared to mirabegron. Their prevalence was higher in female patients. Mirabegron presented a higher risk of hypertension (7%) when compared to oxybutinin (2%, P<0.01), solifenacin (2%, P<0.01), tolterodine (2%, P<0.01) and fesoterodine (1%, P<0.01); the rate of hypertension was higher in females (63%) than males (29%) (P<0.01). The risk of acute urinary retention was also significantly higher (15% vs. 10%, P<0.01) in older patients (>85 years).CONCLUSIONS:
Real life data is consistent with registry studies regarding the rate of AEs related to antimuscarinic and beta-3-agonist. However some differences were observed. Female patients present higher rates of AEs when compared to male patients. The risk of acute urinary retention was particularly evident in the octogenarians.
