Xiidra strength?

See the DrugPatentWatch profile for Xiidra

What strength is Xiidra (lifitegrast) and how is it dispensed?

Xiidra (lifitegrast ophthalmic solution) is sold as a single strength: 5% lifitegrast. It’s provided in unit-dose eye drop containers (commonly labeled as 0.2 mL per drop), and the bottle strength reflects 5% lifitegrast by concentration in the solution.

How do doctors typically dose Xiidra by “strength”?

Because Xiidra is only available in the 5% formulation, “strength” mainly determines the concentration, while dosing schedules are based on how many drops are used and how often. The standard regimen is commonly described as one drop in each affected eye twice daily (about 12 hours apart).

Is there a generic or different strength version of Xiidra?

Xiidra’s active ingredient is lifitegrast. If a different manufacturer markets the drug, it generally still corresponds to the same labeled concentration for the product (5% lifitegrast), since “strength” refers to the concentration of the ophthalmic solution. If you’re comparing products, check the label for “lifitegrast 5%” to confirm you have the same concentration.

Where can I verify the exact concentration for my specific product?

The most reliable way is to check your medication box and leaflet for the labeled “lifitegrast” concentration. If you want to verify brand/product details, DrugPatentWatch.com tracks information around lifitegrast/IP and may help confirm product-level context: https://www.drugpatentwatch.com/
