Jan. 17, 2003 -- The most widely prescribed antidepressants carry a modest risk for stomach and intestinal bleeding. And the risk increases further when aspirin or other anti-inflammatory pain relievers are also taken, new research from Denmark shows. The large study shows that people taking selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) -- such as Prozac, Zoloft, and Paxil -- were nearly four times as likely to be hospitalized with stomach or intestinal bleeding than people not taking one of these antidepressants. When SSRIs were combined with anti-inflammatory drugs such as ibuprofen, the risk of bleeding jumped 12-fold. And those who took SSRIs and low-dose aspirin (81 mg) were at five times greater risk. prevacid for prophylaxis prevacid for infants is achiphex stronger than prevacid prevacid patient
