50mg Atopica Capsule - per Capsule
193082
Atopic dermatitis is a chronic skin condition that affects many dogs, causing them discomfort and distress. Atopic dermatitis manifests as itchy, red, irritated, and sometimes scaly skin. This condition can be triggered by various environmental allergens, such as pollen, dust mites, and moulds. If your dog is constantly scratching, licking, or biting its skin, it might be suffering from atopic dermatitis.
Atopica 50mg Capsules are designed specifically to address the root causes of atopic dermatitis in dogs. Unlike many treatments that merely mask the symptoms, Atopica works at the cellular level. The active ingredient, Cyclosporine, targets specific cells in the immune system, preventing the body's overreaction to allergens, which is the primary cause of the symptoms associated with atopic dermatitis.
50mg Atopica Capsules contain cyclosporine, which suppresses the body's immune system. By doing so, it prevents the immune system from overreacting to allergens, thereby reducing the inflammation and itchiness associated with atopic dermatitis. Atopica doesn't just provide temporary relief; it addresses the underlying issue, offering a more long-term solution.

This will generally be the case within 4 weeks. If no response is obtained within the first 8 weeks the treatment should be stopped. Once the clinical signs of atopic dermatitis are satisfactorily controlled the preparation can then be given every other day as a maintenance dose. The veterinary surgeon should perform a clinical assessment at regular intervals and adjust the frequency of administration to the clinical response obtained.
In some cases where the clinical signs are controlled with every-other-day dosing the veterinary surgeon can decide to give Atopica every 3 to 4 days. Adjunct treatment (e.g. medicated shampoos fatty acids) may be considered before reducing the dosing interval. Treatment may be stopped when the clinical signs are controlled. Upon recurrence of clinical signs treatment should be resumed at daily dosing and in certain cases repeated treatment courses may be required.
Atopica should be given at least 2 hours before or after feeding. Insert the capsule directly into the dog's mouth.

Atopic dermatitis is a chronic inflammatory skin disease caused by allergic reactions to environmental substances such as pollen, moulds, dust mites, and certain foods. Symptoms typically include severe itching, redness, and recurrent skin infections. This condition can significantly impact a dog's quality of life, leading to discomfort, anxiety, and behavioural changes.
Dogs with atopic dermatitis often exhibit excessive scratching, licking, chewing, or rubbing of their skin. These behaviours can lead to hair loss, open sores, and secondary bacterial or yeast infections. Commonly affected areas include the face, ears, paws, abdomen, and armpits. If left untreated, the condition can worsen, causing chronic skin damage and increased susceptibility to infections.
Cytopoint 10mg for Dogs is a biological therapy that works by mimicking the natural immune system response. It contains a monoclonal antibody specifically designed to bind to canine IL-31. When injected, these antibodies circulate in the dog's body and neutralise IL-31, effectively blocking the itch signal. This action provides rapid relief, often within 24 hours, and can last for up to four to eight weeks, depending on the individual dog's response. This duration of action allows for less frequent dosing compared to traditional therapies such as tablets, making it a convenient option.
