Age and sex effects on bleeding risk

In this episode, we explore a critical drug interaction: SSRIs combined with anticoagulants increase major bleeding risk by 35-47%. Should age and sex change our prescribing decisions? We break down the evidence from nearly 100,000 patients and discuss safer antidepressant alternatives for high-risk individuals.
