Cytopoint 10mg is a veterinary treatment designed to relieve itching caused by atopic dermatitis in dogs. It works by targeting specific proteins involved in the itch response, providing long-lasting relief. Unlike traditional allergy medications, Cytopoint does not suppress the immune system, making it a safe and effective option for managing allergic skin conditions.
Atopic dermatitis is a common inflammatory skin disease in dogs caused by allergic reactions to environmental allergens. It results in persistent itching, skin irritation, and inflammation. If left untreated, the condition can lead to secondary infections and a decline in the dog's quality of life.
Cytopoint is administered as an injection and provides relief for up to four to eight weeks. By reducing the urge to scratch, it helps prevent skin damage and supports overall skin health.
How Cytopoint 10mg Works
Cytopoint contains lokivetmab, a monoclonal antibody that specifically targets and neutralises interleukin-31 (IL-31), a protein responsible for sending itch signals to the brain. By blocking IL-31, Cytopoint helps reduce the sensation of itching at its source, preventing excessive scratching and further skin irritation.
Unlike steroids or immunosuppressive drugs, Cytopoint works by mimicking the body’s natural immune response without affecting other parts of the immune system. This targeted approach provides effective relief from atopic dermatitis without the side effects commonly associated with long-term steroid use.
The treatment is administered as a subcutaneous injection by a veterinary professional. Once in the system, the monoclonal antibodies remain active for several weeks, gradually breaking down like the body's natural proteins. This provides extended relief from itching without requiring daily medication.
