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.

Understanding Atopic Dermatitis in Dogs
Atopic dermatitis is a chronic skin condition caused by an allergic reaction to environmental triggers. It occurs when a dog's immune system overreacts to allergens such as pollen, dust mites, mould spores, or certain foods. The resulting inflammation leads to persistent itching, skin irritation, and discomfort.
Symptoms of Atopic Dermatitis
Dogs with atopic dermatitis often display signs of skin irritation and excessive scratching. Common symptoms include:
- Persistent itching, licking, or chewing at the skin
- Red, inflamed, or dry skin
- Hair loss or thinning fur in affected areas
- Recurrent ear infections or skin infections
- Rubbing face, paws, or body against surfaces
- Thickened or darkened skin over time
Scratching and licking can break the skin barrier, leading to secondary bacterial or fungal infections. These infections may require additional treatment with antibiotics or antifungal medications. Early management of atopic dermatitis can help prevent complications and improve a dog’s comfort.
Common Causes and Triggers
Atopic dermatitis is often caused by allergens in the environment. Some of the most common triggers include:
- Pollen from grass, trees, and flowers
- Dust mites and household allergens
- Mould spores in damp environments
- Flea saliva from flea bites
- Certain foods or dietary ingredients
Some dogs develop seasonal allergies, while others experience symptoms year-round. Identifying and managing triggers can help reduce flare-ups and improve overall skin health.
Benefits of Cytopoint for Dogs with Atopic Dermatitis
Cytopoint provides targeted relief from itching, reducing the need for constant scratching and licking. This helps protect the skin from further damage and prevents the development of infections caused by excessive irritation.
Unlike traditional allergy medications that require daily administration, Cytopoint provides long-lasting relief with a single injection. The effects can last for four to eight weeks, reducing the need for frequent dosing.
Steroids and immunosuppressive medications can have long-term side effects, including weight gain, increased thirst, and immune suppression. Cytopoint works by blocking itch signals without affecting other parts of the immune system, making it a safer option for long-term use.
Continuous scratching can disrupt sleep and cause discomfort. By reducing itching, Cytopoint helps dogs feel more comfortable, allowing them to rest and engage in normal activities without distraction.
Administration and Dosage
Cytopoint is available in different dosages, including 10mg, and is administered as a subcutaneous injection by a veterinary professional. The correct dosage is determined based on the dog’s weight and severity of symptoms.
One injection provides relief for up to four to eight weeks. The treatment can be repeated as needed, depending on the dog’s response and the progression of atopic dermatitis. Regular veterinary check-ups are recommended to monitor the dog’s condition and adjust treatment if necessary.
Suitability and Considerations
Cytopoint is intended for dogs diagnosed with atopic dermatitis and should only be used under veterinary supervision. It is suitable for long-term management and can be used alongside other allergy treatments, such as medicated shampoos, dietary changes, or environmental allergen control.
The treatment is generally well tolerated, but mild side effects such as temporary lethargy or discomfort at the injection site may occur. Serious side effects are rare, but any unusual symptoms should be reported to a veterinary professional.
Cytopoint should not be used in dogs with known hypersensitivity to lokivetmab. It is not intended for use in cats or other animals. The treatment should be administered by a veterinary professional, and the dog’s progress should be regularly monitored to ensure continued effectiveness.

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 20mg 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.
