Pharmacovigilance‐Based Identification and Mechanistic Exploration of Periodontitis‐Related Drugs
ABSTRACT Background Periodontitis is a common chronic inflammatory disease. However, drug‐related risks and underlying molecular mechanisms remain underexplored from large real‐world data. Methods We first mined the US Food and Drug Administration Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) database to identify drugs disproportionately associated with ...
