Abstract
The Netherlands Pharmacovigilance Centre Lareb evaluates the reports as generated by the spontaneous adverse event reporting system in the Netherlands. This article describes the association between the adverse drug reactions (ADRs), headache and migraine and reported suspected drugs. In a case/non-case design, reporting odds ratios were calculated in order to analyse this association. Additionally the results of this analysis were compared with data from literature. Taken together, the ADRs headache and migraine are the second most reported ADR. The results of the analysis of the association between drugs and both ADRs in the Lareb data set are generally in accordance with literature data. Especially drugs causing vasodilative effects have often been associated with headache or migraine.
