No Combining escitalopram and ibuprofen can increase the risk of bleeding because both medications can make it harder for blood to clot. This is a potentially severe interaction, and the risk is higher with prolonged use of ibuprofen, use in elderly patients, or in those with pre-existing conditions like kidney or liver disease. It is important to talk to a doctor before taking them together, and to seek immediate medical attention for any signs of unusual bleeding
