Lifitegrast appears in 1 dosage-form group in the FDA Orange Book as of 12 November 2026, with no generic maker listed as marketed. 1 group has a brand listed as marketed and no generic listed as marketed. The data does not state why, and it does not state that one is coming. Where both are dated, the first generic approval came 7.1 years after the first brand approval.
