What Causes Unexplained Easy Bruising While On Lexapro?
Brief Answer:
Ibuprofen increases chance of bleeding on lexapro
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for your query.
Abnormal bruising or other bleeding manifestation can be an adverse effect of lexapro. The risks increase if the patient is simultaneously on aspirin, Ibuprofen or similar drugs.
So I think you should stop the Ibuprofen and report this event to the prescribing doctor.
Hope this helps.
Regards
