What does Xiidra (lifitegrast) cost at the pharmacy?

How much do people typically pay without insurance?

If cost is the main issue, what alternatives might be cheaper?
If Xiidra is too expensive, clinicians and patients often consider other treatments for dry eye disease that may be covered differently by insurance (or priced lower). Options can include other prescription eye drops and non-prescription therapies depending on your diagnosis and severity.
If you tell me your country (and whether you have insurance), plus the bottle size or what strength you were prescribed, I can help you narrow down what to check and what a typical cash vs. copay range might look like for your situation.
