Lodoxamide is a type of allergy drug used to treat allergic conjunctivitis, a condition in which the eyes become red, itchy, and watery due to an allergic reaction. It is a mast cell stabilizer, meaning it works by preventing the release of histamine and other substances that cause inflammation. It is available as an eye drop and is usually used twice a day. It is generally well tolerated, with few side effects. Lodoxamide is a relatively new drug, having been approved by the US Food and Drug Administration in 2019. It is becoming increasingly popular as an alternative to other allergy drugs, such as antihistamines and corticosteroids. The lodoxamide market is highly competitive, with several companies offering the drug. These include Allergan, Bausch + Lomb, and Santen Pharmaceuticals. Show Less Read more
