Introduction: Current drug-drug interaction (DDI) detection methods often miss the aspect of temporal plausibility, leading to false-positive disproportionality signals in spontaneous reporting system (SRS) databases.

Objective: This study aims to develop a method for detecting and prioritizing temporally plausible disproportionality signals of DDIs in SRS databases by incorporating co-exposure time in disproportionality analysis.

Methods: The method was tested in the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS).

Introduction: Drug-drug interactions (DDIs) are defined as the pharmacological effects produced by the concomitant administration of two or more drugs. To minimize false positive signals and ensure their validity when analyzing Spontaneous Reporting System (SRS) databases, it has been suggested to incorporate key pharmacological principles, such as temporal plausibility.

Areas Covered: The scoping review of the literature was completed using MEDLINE from inception to March 2023.
