Can I take Aprokam and Docusate together?

Why this happens

Aprokam (cefuroxime) is injected directly into the eye by a surgeon and acts locally to prevent infection. Docusate works in the digestive system. Because these medicines work in completely different parts of the body and do not share the same pathways for breakdown or removal, they do not interfere with each other.

You can safely use these medicines as prescribed. Always ensure your surgeon is aware of all medications you are taking, including over-the-counter laxatives like docusate.
