 The Epoch Times | Anti-Depressants Can Cause Internal Bleeding, Study Shows
A review of the medical records of 549 patients admitted to hospitals for acute gastrointestinal bleeding found that ongoing use of such anti-depressants caused a risk of bleeding similar to that caused by the regular use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, or NSAIDs, such as aspirin, ibuprofen and naproxen.
Eli Lilly and Co., which makes Prozac, said the possibility of bleeding was already listed as a potential side effect of the drug and users were cautioned about it in information provided with the product.
Gastrointestinal bleeding from NSAIDS has been blamed for 16,000 deaths a year in the United States, and that problem helped spur the development of COX-2 drugs, which were designed to be a safer replacement.

 Stopping internal bleeding without surgery
Currently, techniques to stop bleeding include manually sealing off the vessel with stitches, using electrical current to generate heat which seals off blood vessels, or using a topical agent.
HIFU works by generating a lot of heat very quickly (70 degrees C in less than onesecond), causing biological tissues where the ultrasound is focused to shrink and fuse together, stopping bleeding.
In addition to stopping bleeding in blood vessels, Vaezy’s team has been able to show that HIFU can safely stop bleeding in solid organs like the liver and spleen, where current techniques are not effective.

 BBC News | Health | Bleeding risk of anti-depressants
People who take anti-depressants such as Prozac are three times more likely to develop internal bleeding than average, according to research.
The researchers, from the Spanish Medicines Agency in Madrid, believe this is because anti-depressants may affect the blood's ability to clot and therefore increase the risk of bleeding.
However, they warn against a panic response to their findings, saying the fact that only a few patients were affected shows that the risk only occurs in certain circumstances and the body is able to compensate most of the time.
