Xiidra is LFA-1 antagonist — blocks T-cell binding to ICAM-1 in conjunctiva, reduces T-cell-mediated inflammation in dry eye. Twice-daily dosing.
How Xiidra Works:
Dry eye involves inflammation — T cells release cytokines that damage ocular surface.
Lifitegrast blocks LFA-1/ICAM-1 interaction — prevents T-cell recruitment and activation. Reduces ocular surface inflammation. Different mechanism from cyclosporine (calcineurin inhibitor) but both anti-inflammatory.
Form and use:
Xiidra 1 drop in each eye twice daily, approximately 12 hours apart.
Generic availability:
No generic Xiidra. Other Rx dry eye: cyclosporine 0.05% (Restasis — generic now available, much cheaper), cyclosporine 0.09% (Cequa), cyclosporine 0.1% (Vevye), perfluorohexyloctane (Miebo — evaporative), varenicline nasal spray (Tyrvaya), loteprednol 0.25% (Eysuvis — short-term flare). OTC artificial tears very cheap first-line.
Warnings:
Eye irritation, altered taste sensation (dysgeusia — common, transient), reduced visual acuity (transient), eye discomfort on instillation.
Xiidra $600–$800/month. Generic cyclosporine $50–$100. OTC tears $15.
Both anti-inflammatory. Restasis (cyclosporine) generic now available — much cheaper. Xiidra works faster for symptom relief (2 weeks vs months for Restasis). Some patients respond better to one or other. Generic cyclosporine often tried first now due to cost.
Xiidra anti-inflammatory; Miebo reduces evaporation. Different mechanisms. Some patients use combination.
Common — transient bitter/metallic taste after dosing. Usually well-tolerated.
