Suggest Treatment For Bruises All Over The Body

default
Posted on Wed, 17 Feb 2016
Question: I have have low factor XI and XIII so I already have a tendency to bruise easily. I always stay away from medications that increase the likelihood of bruising, bleeding, blood thinning, etc. I was recently put on both baclofen (10mg TID) and Vyvanse (40mg QD-- started at 20mg QD for ADHD) and have noticed that I have a lot of bruises >25 probably all over my arms and legs. I wanted to know if it was possible that either of these medications could be causing this increase. I do not take NSAIDS or any blood thinners (haven't in years).
