Non-selective NSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) are medications that inhibit both COX-1 and COX-2 enzymes, which play key roles in the inflammatory process and pain signaling. Common examples include ibuprofen, naproxen, and aspirin. While effective at reducing pain and inflammation, non-selective NSAIDs can also lead to gastrointestinal side effects, such as ulcers and bleeding, due to COX-1 inhibition, which protects the stomach lining. They are often used for conditions like arthritis, muscle pain, and menstrual cramps.
NSAIDs have multiple effects on the GIT, one being the breakdown of the mucous layer that protects the stomach lining and reduction in prostaglandin levels due to inhibition of the COX-2 pathway.
Yes, Lexapro (escitalopram) can increase the risk of bleeding, particularly when taken in combination with other medications that affect blood clotting, such as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) or anticoagulants. This is due to its effect on serotonin levels, which play a role in platelet function.
