Dry Eye | Treatment Algorithms: Claims Data Analysis | US | 2021

Few drugs are approved in the United States to treat dry eye disease (DED). AbbVie’s blockbuster Restasis was the only therapy approved for this indication for more than a decade until the launch of Novartis’s Xiidra in 2016, the newer Restasis MultiDose formulation in 2017, and Sun Ophthalmics’ Cequa in 2019. In addition to these approved drugs, pharmacotherapies such as topical corticosteroids are commonly prescribed to treat DED. The claims analysis provides manufacturers of current treatments, as well as those developing novel agents for DED, with real-world insight regarding recent trends in the use of DED drugs.
