ModerateClopidogrel + Sertraline

Can you take Clopidogrel and Sertraline together?

This page explains what happens if Clopidogrel and Sertraline are taken together, according to official sources.

What happens

Increased bleeding risk via dual antiplatelet action

Sertraline depletes platelet serotonin, which in combination with clopidogrel P2Y12 inhibition increases mucosal and systemic bleeding risk.

Recommended management

Instruct patients to observe for bleeding symptoms, epistaxis, or unexplained ecchymosis. Review therapy with cardiologist or psychiatrist.
