An increase in antiplatelet effect would increase the risk of bleeding and could cause prolonged or excessive bleeding. A decrease in antiplatelet effect would reduce the risk of bleeding, but increase the thromboembolic risk. [3] Drug toxicity may increase when multiple antiplatelet drugs are used.
A number of medications are found to cause upper GI bleeds. [16] NSAIDs or COX-2 inhibitors increase the risk about fourfold. [16] SSRIs, corticosteroids, and anticoagulants may also increase the risk. [16] The risk with dabigatran is 30% greater than that with warfarin. [17]
The biggest risk of anticoagulation therapy is the increased risk of bleeding. [15] In otherwise healthy people, the increased risk of bleeding is minimal, but those who have had recent surgery, cerebral aneurysms , and other conditions may have too great a risk of bleeding.
A number of medications increase the risk of bleeding including NSAIDs and SSRIs. SSRIs double the rate of upper gastrointestinal bleeding. [4] There are many causes for upper gastrointestinal hemorrhage. Causes are usually anatomically divided into their location in the upper gastrointestinal tract. [citation needed]
[24] [25] However, conflicting evidence from another review suggested that dabigatran might not substantially increase the risk of heart attacks, or if it does, then the associated risk is relatively low. [26] For patients with moderately reduced kidney function, lower dabigatran doses are recommended due to increased drug exposure and bleeding ...
This warning states that antidepressant medications are associated with an increased risk for thoughts of death and/or behavior in children and/or young adults.
Researchers are working to develop a unique anticoagulant (blood thinner) that would bring a lower risk of bleeding than the options currently on the market. Researchers are developing a blood ...
Researchers discovered that more than 200 commonly used prescription drugs have depression or suicide listed as potential side effects. Study: Adults use medications that lead to depression and ...
