How it works

12.1 Mechanism of Action Studies in animals suggest that acoltremon, the active substance in TRYPTYR, is an agonist of transient receptor potential melastatin 8 (TRPM8) thermoreceptors. TRPM8 thermoreceptor stimulation has been shown to activate trigeminal nerve signaling leading to increased basal tear production. The exact mechanism of action for TRYPTYR in dry eye disease is unknown.
