How TRYPTYR Works

TRYPTYR works by stimulating TRPM8 thermoreceptors, which in turn activates trigeminal nerve signaling. This process leads to an increase in basal tear production. Although the exact mechanism in dry eye disease is unknown, animal studies suggest this receptor activation is the primary therapeutic pathway.
