Can I have PRP/PRF treatments when I am on antidepressants?

Question

Can I have prp/prf treatments when I am on antidepressions? Many thanks

Hung William Song, MD · Answer

The beauty of PRP and PRF treatments is that they are autologous, which means the injected material comes from your own body so there is very little or no risk of interaction with medications such as antidepressants. The only medications your need to be a little cautious about are anticoagulants as these may cause more bruising.

Hi, thank you for your question! I do not know of any contradictions with having PRP/PRF injections while on antidepressants. I would recommend following up with your prescribing doctor for further information.

Generally speaking anti-depressants, would not be an interference with PRP/PRF procedures.. The most common medications that are requested to be stopped are (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) which can interfere with the inflammatory process.

Jeremias Duarte, DO · Answer

Antidepressants, generally speaking, are not a known contraindication for PRP/PRF treatments. The most common medications physicians ask patients to stop taking immediately before and after PRP/PRF procedures are typically those that affect inflammatory processes. For example, NSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) are a common one. However, you should let the physician you expect to perform the procedure be aware of any medications you are currently taking. That physician will review your medication list to ensure your procedure is done safely.
