What is Xiidra?
Xiidra (Lifitegrast Ophthalmic solution) 5% is a prescription eye drop used to treat the signs and symptoms of dry eye disease in adults. It helps relieve discomfort caused by dryness, burning, or irritation in the eyes. Xiidra targets the inflammation associated with dry eye disease, offering relief for patients who struggle with persistent eye discomfort. It is commonly prescribed when artificial tears are not enough to manage symptoms.
How Does Xiidra Work?
Xiidra works by targeting a specific source of inflammation in the eye.
Lifitegrast
An LFA-1 antagonist that blocks the interaction between two molecules involved in inflammation—LFA-1 and ICAM-1. By inhibiting this interaction, Xiidra reduces inflammation on the surface of the eye, leading to improved tear production and comfort over time.
Unlike artificial tears that only provide temporary lubrication, Xiidra addresses the underlying cause of dry eye disease, helping the eyes heal and feel more comfortable long-term.
