How long has xiidra been on the market?

How long has Xiidra (lifitegrast) been available to patients?

Xiidra has been on the market since 2016. It received FDA approval in 2016 for dry eye disease, which is the main marker for when it became commercially available in the U.S.

What year did FDA approval happen, and does that match “on the market”?

FDA approval occurred in 2016, and that year is generally the same period when the product started being sold and prescribed in the U.S. (Approval date is the clearest reference point for “on the market.”)
