acetylsalicylic acid + escitalopram

Acetylsalicylic acid + escitalopram is a combination of two pharmaceutical agents. Acetylsalicylic acid (commonly known as aspirin) is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that acts primarily as an irreversible inhibitor of cyclooxygenase enzymes, leading to reduced synthesis of prostaglandins and thromboxanes, which results in analgesic, antipyretic, anti-inflammatory, and antiplatelet effects. Escitalopram is a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) used mainly for the treatment of major depressive disorder and generalized anxiety disorder; it works by increasing synaptic serotonin levels through inhibition of the serotonin transporter. The combination does not have a unique brand or code name and is not marketed as a fixed-dose product but may be co-prescribed in clinical practice. Coadministration increases the risk of bleeding due to additive effects on platelet function[1][2][5][8].
