Question

One elderly patient is a k/c/o BPH (Benign prostatic hyperplasia), Which OTC drug should be avoided in this patient? *

Answer 1

Explanation:

Decongestants. Decongestants, such as pseudoephedrine (Sudafed), are used to treat congestion often associated with a cold. These drugs, which are called vasopressor adrenergics, worsen BPH symptoms because they tighten muscles in the prostate and bladder neck.
