Known interactions between the following drugs: Carteolol Ophthalmic, Naproxen

Naproxen can block the blood pressure-lowering effect of carteolol. Clinical studies have shown that a small increase in blood pressure may occur when these two drugs are taken at the same time. It is generally recommended to avoid using naproxen and carteolol together, if possible. However, if these drugs must be used at the same time, your doctor may want to closely monitor your blood pressure and adjust the dose of carteolol if needed. Your doctor may also consider switching to a different drug that is less likely to interact with carteolol. Discuss this potential interaction with your healthcare provider at your next appointment, or sooner if you think you are having problems.
