Escitalopram and Meloxicam: Can You Take Them Together?

Here's what FDA-approved drug labeling shows.

MODERATE

Interaction Found

Taking escitalopram (a depression medicine) with meloxicam (a pain reliever) together can increase your risk of bleeding. This happens because meloxicam affects how your blood clots, and escitalopram can make this worse.

What to do: Tell your doctor that you're taking both medicines. Watch for signs of unusual bleeding like nosebleeds, bruises, or blood in your urine or stool. Do not stop either medicine without talking to your doctor first.
