A Pharmacovigilance Study on Psychotropic Agent-Induced Urinary Retention Using the Japanese Adverse Drug Event Report Database.

Introduction: Psychotropic drugs have been reported to cause urinary retention (UR) via anticholinergic and other mechanisms. However, UR has not received much attention because of its non-fatal symptoms. We investigated the occurrence of UR associated with psychotropic drugs using the Japanese Adverse Drug Event Report (JADER) database.
