Why is Xiidra prescribed?

Xiidra (Lifitegrast) is an eye drop solution prescribed for adults over 17 years old to treat the signs and symptoms of dry eye disease (DED).

What does it do?

Xiidra (Lifitegrast) works by blocking the interaction between LFA-1, a protein on white blood cells, and ICAM-1, an adhesion molecule found in the corneal and conjunctival tissues of people with dry eye disease (DED). This interaction is linked to T-cell activation, migration, and the release of inflammatory cytokines. By preventing this process, Xiidra may reduce the secretion of these cytokines, helping to improve DED symptoms, though the exact mechanism is not fully understood.

How should I take it?

This medication is for eye use only. Do not take it orally. Follow the instructions on the prescription label. Wash your hands before and after use. Tilt your head back slightly, and use your index finger to pull down the lower eyelid to create a small pocket. Avoid touching the dropper tip to your eye or the pouch. Administer one drop into the pouch, then gently close your eye to spread the drops. Do not use the medication more frequently than directed.

If you are wearing contact lenses, remove them before applying Xiidra, and you may reinsert them 15 minutes after administration.
