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

Xiidra 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 Xiidra 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).

Xiidra is a safe and effective treatment when used for FDA licensed indications. However, like all medications, they may give you unwanted side effects. You should always discuss potential side effects with your physician to ensure the medication is suitable and right for you.
