To use Xiidra Ophthalmic Solution, follow your doctor’s instructions and apply the drops twice daily, about 12 hours apart. Wash your hands before applying the drops and be careful not to touch the tip of the container or let it touch your eye or any surface to avoid contamination. Open a single-use container only when you are ready to use it. If you wear contact lenses, remove them before applying the drops and wait for at least 15 minutes before reinserting them.
Tilt your head back, look upward, and pull down your lower eyelid to create a small pocket. Hold the dropper directly above your eye and place one drop into the pocket. Afterward, try not to blink or rub your eye, but instead, press lightly on the tear duct at the corner of the eye near your nose for one to two minutes to prevent the medicine from draining out. If your doctor has prescribed more than one drop, repeat these steps accordingly. If instructed to use Xiidra Ophthalmic Solution in both eyes, repeat these steps for the other eye.
Use eye drops before eye ointments to ensure that the drops enter your eye properly. Wait several minutes for your vision to clear before driving or using machinery. Use Xiidra Ophthalmic Solution regularly to get the best results from it, and make sure to apply it at the same times daily to help you remember.
