Abstract

Although the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) have a very good safety profile, they have been associated with spontaneous bleeding in some patients. The risk could be further increased if patients are taking concurrent nonsteroidal anti‐inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Investigators recently conducted a retrospective analysis to evaluate the risk of peptic ulcer disease associated with concomitant use of both classes of drugs, as compared with use of antidepressants alone, as well as to examine the differential risk among the various classes of antidepressants and individual antidepressants.
