If a rectal bleed is occurring, then a colonoscopy would be warranted. If a nutritional deficiency is suspected, vitamin B12 and folate levels should be obtained, among other tests.
Does Ritalin cause bruising?
Not likely. Bruising can be caused by abnormal clotting factors. PT and PTT can be measured and if they are nl then the bruising is probably not related to the Ritalin. It would be highly unlikely for Ritalin to affect the PT or PTT. Actually, Ritalin does cause bruising. This is a rare but serious side effect and you should stop taking the drug immediately and contact your doctor. The PT and PTT may show up normal but once the Ritalin is discontinued, the bruising typically stops.
