My lower frontal gum is very sore and sometimes bleeding, I am on decapeptyl, paroxat and ezetralex could this be a side effect of any of the medicines I'm taking?

Dr. Zakia Dimassi Pediatrics
Among the drugs you're currently administering, only paroxat (main ingredient paroxetine) may interfere with the normal function of platelets (which are structures in the blood stream that resemble cells and are responsible for stopping bleeding and formation of a bruise), which may explain the gum bleed. Also the drugs you're on do not interact among each other and therefore do not interfere with one another's function. You may need to do a complete blood count (CBC) and follow up with your treating physician.
