I have the same problem when taking Straterra - bleedng from the nose. I take 25 mg a day. The bleeding started after taking the drug for 2 weeks. I went to a doctor who cauterized the inside of my nose and stopped the bleeding for a week. This ENT did not mention anything about straterra.
I have High Blood pressure and take blood pressure medicaiton, the cause of my bleeding may be my blood pressure -- raised by the taking of Straterra.
Unfortunately, we are guiney pigs because Straterra is too new and no one really knows about it including my Nuerologist. I suggest you contact the drug company and report it, I plan to do the same.
