Abstract

Objective: The bladder normally shows no contractility or activity during the filling phase. In the overactive urinary bladder, spontaneous contractions and detrusor instability are seen in the filling phase and urinary incontinence occurs. This study aims to demonstrate the effects of first-generation antipsychotic haloperidol and second-generation antipsychotics olanzapine, risperidone, and clozapine on mice isolated bladder using the organ bath system. Materials and Methods: 63 male inbred mice were divided as saline, haloperidol 0.125 mg/kg, haloperidol 0.25 mg/kg, olanzapine 1 mg/kg, olanzapine 2 mg/kg, risperidone 0.25 mg/kg, risperidone 0.5 mg/kg, clozapine 1.25 mg/kg and clozapine 2.5 mg/kg groups. Mice were treated with drugs for 21 days. Then, the effects of drugs were investigated on isoproterenol-induced relaxation responses of carbachol-induced contractions in isolated detrusor strips. Results: We showed that carbachol-induced contractions relaxed by isoproterenol and papaverine in mice detrusor strips obtained from olanzapine, risperidone, and clozapine treated groups. There were no significant differences in KCl-induced contractile responses among the groups.Conclusion: Olanzapine, risperidone, and clozapine increased the isoproterenol-induced relaxations of the detrusor muscle that increased the bladder capacity. These drugs might be clinically useful for the treatment of overactive urinary bladder in patients that should use antipsychotic drugs.
