Summary
A 59-year-old gentleman presented to the urology outpatient department, having been referred by his general practitioner (GP) with lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS). On review of his medications, he was taking a calcium channel blocker for control of his mild hypertension. This was subsequently swapped to a more vascular-selective calcium channel blocker and his symptoms improved and he was discharged from the urology clinic. It is shown in the literature that there is a clinically significant correlation between the use of certain calcium channel blockers and the worsening of LUTS.
