β-blockers and risk of neuropsychiatric adverse events: An active-comparator restricted disproportionality on the FAERS
β-blockers, especially propranolol, may be associated with a higher risk of neuropsychiatric AEs compared to lisinopril and losartan. These findings highlight the importance of considering the specific β-blocker prescribed, particularly in patients at risk for central nervous system side effects. Further population-based studies are warranted to confirm these results.
