From the literature: Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors linked to upper GI tract bleeding
Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) experienced increased usage in the 1990s due to their low toxicity and minimal adverse effects. Throughout this period, several clinical reports indicated a link between the use of SSRIs and various bleeding disorders. A recent study published in the Archives of Internal Medicine found a distinct correlation between the use of SSRIs and upper gastrointestinal (GI) tract bleeding. The population-based cohort study was conducted within the 490,000 residents of a northern Denmark county over a five-year period.
