Patients over the age of 80 may be most at risk
Elderly people and those with a history of bleeding disorders have been warned of the risk of taking certain types of anti-depressants.
Experts say a group of anti-depressants called selective serotonin re-uptake inhibitors or SSRIs may predispose in some people to internal bleeding.
Over 12 million prescriptions for SSRIs are written each year. Around four million of these are given to elderly people.
One study of 12,000 people in the UK found that those who suffered gastrointestinal bleeding were three times more likely to have been prescribed SSRIs during the previous 30 days, compared to other patients.
