Utilization of Beta-blockers Among the Pediatric Population in the United States: A Study in the FDA’s Sentinel System from 2008 to 2022

This poster examines utilization patterns of beta-blockers among the pediatric population in the United States. It was presented at the 39th International Conference on Pharmacoepidemiology and Therapeutic Risk Management.
