16mg Apoquel Tablets for Dogs – Targeted relief from itching
16mg Apoquel Tablets are prescription-only tablets for the control of acute and chronic pruritus in dogs. They are commonly prescribed for dogs with allergic skin disease, including atopic dermatitis, and are designed to reduce itch and inflammation so that the skin has a chance to recover.
Each 16mg tablet contains oclacitinib, an active ingredient that acts quickly on the pathways that trigger itching. This strength is usually used for medium to large dogs, according to the dosing regime set by the prescribing veterinary surgeon.
How 16mg Apoquel for Dogs works
Oclacitinib is a selective Janus kinase (JAK1) inhibitor. In simple terms, it interferes with specific chemical messengers (cytokines) that are involved in the itch and inflammation cycle of allergic skin disease. By blocking these signals, Apoquel helps to break the “itch–scratch” cycle that damages the skin.
16mg Apoquel targets cytokines such as those associated with allergy and pruritus, including the signals linked to the sensation of itch. It reduces both the urge to scratch and the associated redness and irritation of the skin. Apoquel 16mg has a rapid onset of action, and many dogs show a noticeable reduction in itching within a short period of starting treatment, often within the first day.
Because Apoquel works on specific pathways rather than suppressing the entire immune system, it offers more targeted control compared with some traditional therapies.
