Tavilermide is primarily used in the field of ophthalmology for the treatment of dry eye disease. It works by targeting and modulating the activity of certain enzymes involved in the inflammatory pathways that contribute to the symptoms of dry eye. This helps in reducing inflammation and promoting the healing of the ocular surface, thereby improving tear production and overall eye comfort. Tavilermide is often formulated as an eye drop, making it convenient for patients to apply directly to the affected area. Its application is particularly beneficial for individuals who suffer from chronic dry eye symptoms, providing relief and improving their quality of life.
