Latanoprost and Pilocarpine never go together

Latanoprost increases the uveoscleral outflow of the aqueous humor. Pilocarpine has a constrictive effect on the ciliary body as a whole. Hence, when the two are used together, their effects end up getting nullified with the physician bungling to achieve the target IOP.

That's all!

Introducing Medicollabowesome

Hello everyone!

We, the Medicowesome authors, decided to do something new this month and bring to you - Medicollabowesome.

The idea originated from wanting to see how different people present information uniquely on the same topic. 

The Medicowesome authors decided that most of us will (try) to write on one particular topic every month. 

Hopefully, we will learn so much together :D

The topic for the month of August: HIV & AIDS. 

We've already begun writing (:

I invite readers to participate in Medicollabowesome too by emailing your article to us! 

Email the title, post and author name to medicowesome@gmail.com with "Medicollabowesome" in the subject line. 

This is so exciting!
