Drug Levels and Effects
Summary of Use during Lactation
Breastmilk levels of lifitegrast have not been measured in humans. Because absorption from the eye is limited, ophthalmic lifitegrast would not be expected to cause any adverse effects in breastfed infants. To substantially diminish the amount of drug that reaches the breastmilk after using eye drops, place pressure over the tear duct by the corner of the eye for 1 minute or more, then remove the excess solution with an absorbent tissue.
