research (719) Signal Detection of Depression and Suicidality With the 5-Alpha Reductase Inhibitors: Evidence from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) Database
The study analyzed the FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) database to investigate psychiatric adverse drug reactions (ADRs) associated with 5-alpha reductase inhibitors (5-ARIs), specifically finasteride and dutasteride. A total of 27,578 ADRs were reported for finasteride, with 29.3% being psychiatric, while dutasteride had 9,161 ADRs with 13.3% psychiatric. Finasteride showed a higher disproportional reporting of psychiatric ADRs compared to dutasteride, with common issues including depressive disorders, anxiety, suicidality, and libido disorders. Despite the findings, a causal relationship between these psychiatric issues and 5-ARIs cannot be conclusively determined, highlighting the need for ongoing surveillance and further studies to clarify their neuropsychiatric safety profile.
