title: [Bladder storage and voiding dysfunctions : Side effects of drug therapy].
abstract: Bladder storage and voiding dysfunctions primarily affect patients aged 60 and upwards. Demographic changes and an age-related rise in prevalence underline the clinical relevance of these disorders. Besides behavior modification, the primary therapeutic approach is drug therapy. Therefore, a profound knowledge of the potential side effects is essential, particularly regarding the ever rising multidrug administration in the elderly. In this article, we provide a review concerning the potential adverse effects of the most popular therapeutic agents for bladder storage and voiding symptoms.
