Summary
Systemic NSAIDs may blunt the intraocular pressure lowering of topical prostaglandin analogues because prostaglandins contribute to uveoscleral outflow. Studies have been inconsistent and the effect is usually small.
What this interaction means in plain words
Etodolac and Latanoprostene bunod have a small, usually unimportant interaction. Most people can take both; the pharmacist may still mention it so that any unexpected effect is recognised.
Why it happens
NSAID inhibition of prostaglandin synthesis may modestly reduce the uveoscleral outflow effect of the prostaglandin analogue; evidence is conflicting.
What to do
No routine change is needed; check intraocular pressure at usual follow-up and reassess therapy if control is lost after starting an NSAID.
