Recent studies suggest that calcium channel blockers (CCBs) could reduce the risk of tuberculosis and improve clinical outcomes. Our objective was to synthesize the evidence regarding the effect of calcium antagonists on the risk of developing active tuberculosis. We systematically searched for observational studies and RCTs in five databases up to August 31, 2022, in accordance with the recommendations of the PRISMA, AMSTAR 2, and Cochrane Manual guidelines. We follow a PECO strategy. We included seven observational studies, 4,017,988 participants, 241,175 diabetic patients, and 27,555 tuberculosis cases. According to our results, CCBs reduce the risk of developing active tuberculosis by 29% (RR 0.71; 95% CI 067–0.75) in diabetic and non-diabetic patients. CCBs decrease the risk of active tuberculosis or tuberculosis mortality (composite outcome) by 29% (RR 0.71; 95% CI 067–0.75). Statistical heterogeneity was not significant (I2 = 0%, p > 0.1) for all the outcomes evaluated. The effect of the CCBs remained independent of the subgroup analysis, according to the type of patient (diabetic vs. non-diabetics), type of CCB administered (DHP-CCB vs. non-DHP-CCB), and mean follow-up time (≤ 15 years vs. >15 years). We conclude that CCBs reduce the risk of active TB in diabetic and non-diabetic patients. We recommend developing clinical trials to verify these findings, including more diverse populations
