In 5 clinical studies of Dry Eye Disease with lifitegrast ophthalmic solution, 1401 patients received at least one dose of lifitegrast (1287 of which received Xiidra). The majority of patients (84%) had up to 3 months of treatment exposure. 170 patients were exposed to Xiidra for approximately 12 months.¹

Across 5 clinical studies, the most common adverse reactions (5-25%) were instillation site irritation, dysgeusia, and reduced visual acuity¹
