Drug-induced polycystic ovary syndrome: a real-world pharmacovigilance study based on the FAERS database

CONCLUSION: This study is the first large-scale, systematic exploration of drug signals related to PCOS using the FAERS database. The drugs identified are primarily associated with the nervous system, followed by respiratory system medications and other types of drugs. These findings provide new warning evidence and references for clinical drug safety, suggesting that enhanced monitoring of female patients should be implemented when prescribing such drugs.
