Lifitegrast, sold under the brand name Xiidra (/ˈzdrə/[2]), is a medication for the treatment of signs and symptoms of dry eye, a syndrome called keratoconjunctivitis sicca. Lifitegrast reduces inflammation by inhibiting inflammatory cell binding.[3] It is often used as an alternative to ciclosporin (Ikervis, Restasis, Vevye, Verkazia or Cequa) for dry eye treatment including meibomian gland dysfunction and inflammatory dry eye.
