Article Synopsis
- The use of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), like sertraline, can lead to mild to severe spontaneous bleeding, although the exact cause is unclear.
- A case report highlights a 44-year-old woman with anxiety disorder who experienced periorbital purpura while on sertraline, suggesting a potential connection between SSRIs and bleeding risks.
- To mitigate these risks, it's suggested that non-SSRI alternatives should be considered for treatment, and further research is necessary to explore SSRIs' impact on bleeding and hemostasis.
