Warnings

The recommended dose of Xiidra (Lifitegrast) eye drops is 1 drop in each eye 2 times a day, approximately 12 hours apart.

To prevent contamination of the eye drops, the solution is packaged in single-use containers. Wash your hands thoroughly and open the container immediately before using the drops. A single container can be used to instill a drop in each eye. Avoid touching the tip of the container to the eye or eye lashes to prevent injury or eye infection.

To instill the drops:

Tilt your head back and gently pull your lower lid down.
Carefully squeeze out 1 or 2 drops into each eye while looking up toward your forehead.
Close your eyes gently for a few moments.

After using the drops, discard any solution that remains in the container and wash your hands again.

If you are not sure how to use the drops, talk to your doctor or pharmacist.

Many things can affect the dose of medication that a person needs, such as body weight, other medical conditions, and other medications. If your doctor has recommended a dose different from the ones listed here, do not change the way that you are taking the medication without consulting your doctor.

It is important to take Xiidra (Lifitegrast) exactly as prescribed by your doctor.

If you miss a dose, take it as soon as possible and continue with your regular schedule. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular dosing schedule. Do not take a double dose to make up for a missed one. If you are not sure what to do after missing a dose, contact your doctor or pharmacist for advice.

Store Xiidra (Lifitegrast) at room temperature, protect it from light and moisture, and keep it out of the reach of children. Keep the single-use containers in their original foil pouch until you are ready to use one. Single-use containers should be discarded immediately after use.

Do not dispose of medications in wastewater (e.g. down the sink or in the toilet) or in household garbage. Ask your pharmacist how to dispose of medications that are no longer needed or have expired.
