Lifitegrast Opthalmic is a lymphocyte function-associated antigen-1 (LFA-1) antagonist that is used to teat dry eyes.

Lifitegrast Opthalmic is a lymphocyte function-associated antigen-1 (LFA-1) antagonist. LFA-1 is a protein that interacts with certain molecules in the eye. This interaction normally causes an immune response that leads to inflammation (redness, swelling, irritation) and dry eye. It’s not exactly clear how the medication works to relieve dry eye, but it’s thought that Lifitegrast Opthalmic blocks LFA-1 from interacting with these molecules. This helps lower inflammation and other symptoms of dry eye.

The typical dose is 1 drop into each eye twice daily (about 12 hours apart).
