We’re investigating a potential treatment for meibomian gland disease (MGD)—subject to ongoing clinical trials and FDA approval1

What is XDEMVY® (TP-03)*?

XDEMVY is a topical ophthalmic formulation of lotilaner that, if approved, may offer treatment for millions of patients with MGD.1

Many people with dry eye suffer from MGD, a disease that has been linked to the presence of Demodex mites.2-5

GABA=gamma-aminobutyric acid.
*XDEMVY is only FDA approved for the treatment of Demodex blepharitis. XDEMVY is currently being investigated in a Phase 2a trial for MGD.
