By targeting this specific interaction, Xiidra effectively reduces inflammation and helps relieve the signs and symptoms of dry eye disease.
Xiidra is administered as one drop in each eye, twice a day, approximately 12 hours apart. It is essential to follow your healthcare provider’s instructions and to use Xiidra as prescribed for optimal results. Do not touch the tip of the dropper to any surface or your eye to prevent contamination.
Before using Xiidra, inform your healthcare provider about any allergies, medical conditions, or other medications you are taking to avoid potential interactions.
