Posso assumere Aspirina e Latanoprost % oftalmico insieme?

Perché succede

Latanoprost works by mimicking natural substances called prostaglandins to lower eye pressure. Aspirin belongs to a group of medicines (NSAIDs) that block the production of prostaglandins. When taken together, aspirin might interfere with how well latanoprost works. There is also a theoretical risk that aspirin's blood-thinning properties could increase the risk of tiny bleeds in the eye (subconjunctival haemorrhage) when used alongside eye drops.

You can generally use these two medicines together, but you should inform your optician or ophthalmologist. If you notice your eye pressure is not being controlled as well as expected, or if you notice any unusual redness or changes in your vision, speak to your doctor. Do not stop taking aspirin if it has been prescribed for your heart or to prevent a stroke without consulting your GP first.
