Thank you for asking!
the medicines you mentioned have an adverse effect of GI discomfort and stomach pain but bleeding per rectum is not a direct correlation with them. It may be a separate entity and worth examination. Needs an examination and sorting out the cause for bleeding for lower GI tract. could be a haemorrhoid, could be inflammation, or a rectal ulcer or diverticulosis, Needs examination and a colonoscopy if need be to sort it out for sure.
take care
