Effect of the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors over coagulation in patients with depressive disorders – a systematic review and retrospective analysis
Journal Title: Revista de Medicină Militară - Year 2019, Vol 0, Issue 2
Abstract
Several problems related to coagulation dysfunctions induced by selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) were reported in literature, as serotonin is widely distributed in the human organism and it has significant contribution in various vascular and hematologic regulatory mechanisms. First, a systematic review has integrated main results from the field of SSRIs and anticoagulants pharmacologic interactions. Secondly, a retrospective analysis was performed, based on the medical charts of hospitalized patients diagnosed with SSRI-treated depressive disorders, who also received concomitant anticoagulant treatment with acenocoumarol. Platelet count, prothrombin time, activated partial thromboplastin time, and bleeding time were monitored during hospitalization and their values before and after SSRI initiation treatment were compared.
