This is a video synopsis/summary of a discussion involving Elizabeth Yeu, MD.
Yeu discusses how the recent FDA approval of lotilaner ophthalmic solution 0.25% (Xdemvy) finally provides an effective treatment for patients with Demodex blepharitis. Unlike past therapies, this clear solution dosed twice daily has superb efficacy alongside excellent safety and tolerability. In two combined studies, 50% of patients had a reduction of collarettes and 60% of patients had mites completely eradicated. Such substantial improvement was unprecedented. Additionally, the solution form is preferable to a blurring ointment that is hard to apply. Yeu is excited to have an excellent therapeutic option now. She can educate and empower patients about this new treatment, targeting the root cause of their condition.
