Abstract
Sex differences in adverse drug reactions (ADRs) associated with angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEIs) remain poorly understood owing to a lack of sex-specific ADR data from clinical trials.1 Postmarketing pharmacovigilance data, containing structured and detailed ADR information, may play an important role in such analyses. However, these data are often not corrected for prescription numbers and therefore cannot separate sex differences in ADR risk from sex differences in prescription rates. To investigate whether women report more ACEI-related ADRs than men after correction for sex-specific prescription and describe sex differences in reported ADR types, we combined data from the global pharmacovigilance database VigiBase and the prescription-corrected Dutch pharmacovigilance database Lareb.
