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. This duration of action allows for less frequent dosing compared to traditional therapies such as tablets, making it a convenient option.

20mg Cytopoint Injection for dogs
Species: Dogs
Therapeutic indication: Immunological veterinary medical product (non vaccine): For dogs
Active ingredient: Monoclonal antibody
Presentation Each Cytopoint vial of 1ml contains 20mg Lokivetmab.
Lokivetmab is a caninised monoclonal antibody expressed through recombinant techniques in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells.
Uses: Cytopoint is indicated for the treatment of clinical manifestations of atopic dermatitis in dogs.
Dosage and administration
For subcutaneous use. Avoid excessive shaking or foaming of the solution. Administer the entire contents (1 ml) of the Cytopoint vial. For dogs above 40 kg, the contents of more than one vial of Cytopoint are required to administer in a single dose. In those cases, withdraw the appropriate content from each required vial into the same syringe. To allow for mixing of the solution, gently invert the syringe three or four times before administering. Dosage and treatment schedule The recommended minimum dose is 1 mg/kg bodyweight, once a month.
Contra-indications, warnings, etc
Do not use Cytopoint in cases of hypersensitivity to the active substance or to any of the excipients. Do not use in dogs less than 3kg bodyweight. Lokivetmab may induce transient or persistent anti-drug antibodies. The induction of such antibodies is uncommon and may have no effect (transient anti-drug antibodies) or may result in a noticeable decrease in efficacy (persistent anti-drug antibodies) in animals that responded to treatment previously. In cases of atopic dermatitis, it is recommended to investigate and treat complicating factors, such as bacterial, fungal or parasitic infections/infestations (e.g. flea and mange). It is recommended to monitor dogs for bacterial infections associated with atopic dermatitis, especially during the first weeks of treatment. If no or limited response is observed within one month after initial dosing, an improvement in response may be observed after administration of a second dose one month later. However, if the animal does not show a better response after the second dose, the veterinary surgeon should consider alternative treatments. The safety of the veterinary medicinal product has not been established during pregnancy and lactation; therefore its use is not recommended during pregnancy, lactation or in breeding animals. No drug interactions were observed in field studies where lokivetmab was administered concomitantly with veterinary medicinal products such as endo- and ectoparasiticides, antimicrobials, anti-inflammatories and vaccines. If a vaccine(s) is to be administered at the same time as treatment with lokivetmab, the vaccine(s) should be administered at a different site to that of lokivetmab administration.
Do not mix Cytopoint with any other veterinary medicinal product. Hypersensitivity reactions (anaphylaxis, facial oedema, urticaria) may occur in rare cases. In such cases appropriate treatment should be administered immediately. The frequency of adverse reactions is defined using the following convention: - very common (more than 1 in 10 animals treated displaying adverse reaction(s)) - common (more than 1 but less than 10 animals in 100 animals treated) - uncommon (more than 1 but less than 10 animals in 1,000 animals treated) - rare (more than 1 but less than 10 animals in 10,000 animals treated) - very rare (less than 1 animal in 10,000 animals treated, including isolated reports). No adverse reactions other than those mentioned above were observed in laboratory overdose studies. In case of adverse clinical signs after an overdose the dog should be treated symptomatically. User warnings Hypersensitivity reactions, including anaphylaxis, could potentially occur in the case of accidental self-injection. Accidental self-injection may result in an immune response to lokivetmab. It is not expected for this to cause any adverse effects, however, repeated self-administration may increase the risk of hypersensitivity reactions. In case of accidental self-injection, seek medical advice immediately and show the package leaflet or the label to the physician.
