Signal Detection of Adverse Events Associated with Four Dihydropyridine Calcium Channel Blockers Based on the FAERS Database

Objectives: As widely used first-line antihypertensive drugs, dihydropyridine calcium channel blockers (DHP-CCBs) have relatively few studies comparing their adverse reactions based on real-world data. This study aims to identify and compare the potential adverse drug reaction (ADR) signals of four DHP-CCBs (amlodipine, felodipine, nicardipine, and nifedipine) through the US Food and Drug Administration Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS), providing a reference for further drug safety assessm
