1 Medicines Q&As Q&A What is the risk of gastrointestinal associated with selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs)? Prepared by UK Medicines Information (UKMi) pharmacists for NHS healthcare professionals Before using this Q&A, read the disclaimer at Date prepared: 21 January 2013 Background Various reviews and meta-analyses (1-8) have indicated that there is a link between selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) use and gastrointestinal (GI), particularly upper GI (3,4,7,8). An increased risk of has been noted in elderly patients (7), and with the concomitant use of SSRIs and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) (2-5,7,8). Serotonin has an important role in the haemostatic response to injury by promoting platelet aggregation (1,9,10). SSRIs inhibit the uptake of serotonin into platelets which might lead to an increased risk of abnormal (1,9,10). The increase in gastric acid secretion caused by SSRIs could also increase the risk of ulcer development and GI (8). Due to reports of, including GI, manufacturers advise caution in patients with a history of disorders and in those taking SSRIs concomitantly with antiplatelets and other drugs that might increase the risk of (11-16). Answer To determine whether SSRIs and venlafaxine (a serotonin and noradrenaline re-uptake inhibitor [SNRI]) are associated with upper GI tract, de Abajo and colleagues (17) conducted a casecontrol study in which details of case and control patients were drawn from a database used by general practitioners in the UK to store clinical information about their patients. Several similar casecontrol studies had been conducted in the past, but this one differed in that as well as aiming to identify subgroups of patients at an increased risk of bleeds with SSRIs, it sought to determine whether acid suppressing agents were effective in minimising this risk. Patients with upper GI tract (n=1321) who had been referred to a hospital or consultant and 10,000 control subjects were matched for age, sex and calendar year of the index date. For cases, the index date was the date of first symptoms or first diagnosis. For controls, a date within the study period was assigned randomly. Patients were defined as current users if their prescribed antidepressants lasted until the index date or were discontinued within 30 days of the index date. Although the three-fold increased risk of upper GI with SSRIs reported in a previous study (1) by the same authors was not seen again, percentages of current users of SSRIs or venlafaxine were found to be higher for case subjects than controls (5.3% versus 3.0% [SSRIs]; adjusted odds ratio [OR] 1.6; 95% confidence interval [CI]: ; and 1.1% versus 0.3% [venlafaxine]; adjusted OR 2.9; 95% CI: ). The odds ratios were adjusted for age, sex, calendar year, smoking status, alcohol intake, antecedents of GI disorder and concomitant use of NSAIDs, systemic corticosteroids, warfarin, low-dose aspirin and other antiplatelet drugs. The risk of upper GI tract was elevated further in patients receiving concomitant NSAIDs (OR 4.8; 95% CI: ) or corticosteroids (OR 4.0; 95% CI: ) (17). these drugs. Another study found that concomitant therapy with a proton-pump inhibitor (PPI) significantly reduced the modest risk of SSRI-related upper GI (OR 0.39; 95% CI: )(18). Before these studies, gastro-protective agents such as H2 receptor antagonists, PPIs or misoprostol had not been shown to reduce the risk of GI bleeds associated with SSRIs alone (4,6) or in combination with NSAIDs (6). Results from cohort and case-control studies with similar objectives and comparable outcomes to those of de Abajo and colleagues (17) are shown in Table 1. The majority of these concluded that SSRIs are associated with an increased risk of GI (1,10,17-19,21,), and some found this risk to be potentiated by the concomitant use of NSAIDs (1,10,17,19,20). Others found no significant association between GI and SSRI use (22,23) or no potentiation of this effect with concomitant SSRI and NSAID use (18,24). Comparison of these results is complicated by the fact that the studies differed with regard to adjustment for confounding factors. Studies have shown that, in addition to concomitant medication, alcohol intake (25) and H.pylori status (26) are important to take into account when determining the effects of SSRIs on the risk of GI. Patient age and the degree to which different antidepressants inhibit serotonin reuptake were factors of interest in one observational study in 317,824 elderly patients which looked at upper GI rates. The antidepressants these patients were taking were split into 2 groups: those with low inhibition of serotonin reuptake (e.g. nortriptyline, doxepin, trazodone) and those with high inhibition of serotonin reuptake (e.g. paroxetine, sertraline, fluoxetine) (27). Absolute differences between these antidepressant groups were greatest (and statistically significant) for patients aged 80 and over ( rates for high versus low inhibition: 14.7 per 1000 person years versus 10.6 per 1000 person years; number needed to harm [NNH] =244), and those with previous upper GI ( rates for high versus low inhibition: 40.3 per 1000 person years versus 28.6 per 1000 person years; NNH=85) (27). A recent study, in which the medical records of 36,389 patients were examined, also found the adjusted relative risk for GI bleeds to be higher in patients receiving antidepressants with a higher affinity for the serotonin transporter (relative risk for high versus low-affinity antidepressants = 1.17 (95% CI ). This study was of particular interest because it was restricted to patients with major depressive disorder, thereby reducing the risk of confounding by indication. Patients in this study received monotherapy with a SSRI, serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor or other newgeneration antidepressant (28). In a case-control study (19), the risk of upper GI was found to be greatest in patients who had recently (within the last 0-30 days) started SSRI use. This finding is supported by another study, which found that mortality was increased in the 30 days following hospital admission for peptic ulcer in patients who had started SSRIs within 60 days of admission (particularly those over 80 years). In this study, long-term exposure to SSRIs, alone or with NSAIDs did not increase 30-day mortality after peptic ulcer (29). For a rare condition, the OR approximates the relative risk (30). Therefore, in Table 1, some results are reported as an OR and others as relative risk (both versus non-use of the specified medicines), as they appeared in the original papers. Interestingly, de Abajo and colleagues (17) noted that acid suppressing agents protected against GI in patients receiving either serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SRIs [SSRIs or SNRIs]) or both SRIs and NSAIDs (OR 2.0; 95% CI: [SRI only] and OR 9.1; 95% CI: [SRI + NSAID] in non-users of acid suppressors and OR 1.4; 95% CI: [SRI only] and OR 1.1; 95% CI: [SRI + NSAID] in current users of acid suppressors). In context, this would mean that for every 2000 patients receiving an SRI only, or every 250 patients receiving an SRI with an NSAID, without GI protection, one patient would have an upper GI bleed. With GI protection, 5000 or more patients would need to be treated with an SRI or SRI with an NSAID in order for one case to be attributed to

This risk was increased further by the concomitant use of NSAIDs and SRIs. Acid suppressing agents lowered the risk of upper GI tract associated with SRIs +/- NSAIDs. SSRI use was associated with upper GI. This risk was increased further by the concomitant use of NSAIDs and SSRIs, and further still by adding in low-dose aspirin to treatment with NSAIDs and SSRIs. Among users of SSRIs, the risk of upper GI was found to be highest in those who had recently started

Patients admitted with GI haemorrhage (lower or upper) were more likely to be taking SSRIs than controls. SSRI use was statistically significantly greater among cases of lower GI, but not among those of upper GI. SSRI use was associated with a modest increase in the risk of upper GI. PPIs reduced the risk of SSRIassociated upper GI by approximately 60% (OR, 0.39; 95% CI: ). The risk of developing upper GI in patients using both an SSRI and an NSAID was not increased significantly above that in patients using only an NSAID SSRIs, but not other antidepressants, increased the risk of upper GI, and this effect is potentiated by concurrent use of NSAIDs.

Concurrent use of NSAIDs and SSRIs greatly increases the risk of upper GI. Found no evidence to suggest that SSRIs are more likely to cause GI than comparator drugs. No significant association was found between use of SRIs and risk of upper GI. The OR among concurrent users of a high-affinity SRI and an NSAID did not differ from that of users of NSAIDs alone. The risk of GI with SSRI use was slightly increased in patients aged over 70 compared to those aged under 70. The risk of GI is not substantially increased when NSAIDs and SSRIs are prescribed together when compared to alone.

6 Summary The results from most, but not all observational studies suggest that there is an associa the use of SSRIs and GI bleeds. One study indicated that patients taking SSRIs have a increased risk of developing a GI bleed compared to patients not taking SSRIs and who factors for GI. However, recent studies have found the risk to be more modes comparison of the results of studies on SSRI use and GI is complicated by the confounding factors taken into account differ in each case. Some studies have found th SSRIs with concomitant NSAIDs to increase the risk of GI bleed further. Being over the having a previous history of GI may also add to the risk of GI with SS is some evidence that the risk of GI is higher in patients who have just started If an SSRI is required in a patient at high risk of a GI bleed then the use of a gastro-pro could be considered. Studies have shown the use of acid suppressing drugs, e.g. PPIs protective against GI bleeds in patients receiving single-therapy SSRI or combined NSA treatment. Limitations Studies that have looked at the risk of GI bleeds in SSRI users have differed with respe outcomes and the confounding factors taken into account.
