Summary
Systemic NSAIDs inhibit prostaglandin synthesis, and the ocular pressure-lowering effect of prostaglandin analogues has been reported to be either reduced or enhanced in the presence of NSAIDs. The net effect on intraocular pressure is unpredictable but usually small.
What this interaction means in plain words
Latanoprostene bunod and Oxaprozin 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
Pharmacodynamic interference with prostaglandin pathways; the direction of effect is not well established.
What to do
Continue both drugs and check intraocular pressure at routine follow-up. Reassess therapy if pressure control worsens after an NSAID is started.
What to ask your pharmacist
- Is there anything I should notice while taking both?
