Clopidogrel and Escitalopram: Can You Take Them Together?

Here's what FDA-approved drug labeling shows.

MODERATE

Interaction Found

Taking clopidogrel with escitalopram (an SSRI antidepressant) increases your bleeding risk. This means you may bleed more easily or have bleeding that's harder to stop.

What to do: Talk to your doctor or pharmacist about taking these medicines together. Don't stop either medicine on your own. Your doctor may monitor you more closely or adjust your treatment.
