What is Xiidra?
Xiidra is a prescription eye drop used to treat the signs and symptoms of dry eye
disease. Xiidra targets a source of inflammation that may cause dry eye disease. Dry
eye disease can be caused by inflammation on the surface of the eye. Xiidra is
specifically designed to target a source of that inflammation.
Why Xiidra for dry eye disease?

symptoms of dry eye.
The Relief Your Dry Eyes May Need
Xiidra has been studied in more than 1,000 patients with dry eye in four separate,
12-week clinical studies. Xiidra was proven to reduce symptoms of eye dryness in all
four studies and Inferior fluorescein Corneal Staining Score in three of the four studies
in some patients at week 12.
