Apoquel is designed to treat your dog’s itchy skin, which could be caused by a variety of factors, including food, fleas, allergic dermatitis, and allergic skin disease that affect their quality of life. It could even be a contact allergy from the carpets in your home, environmental chemicals, fertilizers, or pesticides. No matter what the cause, when your dog has uncomfortable itchy skin, you want to give them relief as fast as possible.
Apoquel is a common medication that treats and controls chronic manifestations of allergic and atopic dermatitis in dogs, providing relief in 4 hours for itching and inflammation. Apoquel tablets are sold per tablet in strengths of 3.6mg, 5.4mg, or 16mg.
Apoquel is not a steroid or antihistamine and works differently than these other drugs prescribed to relieve the itching and inflammation caused by allergies. It goes directly to the source to address the underlying cause of the irritation and quickly quell the allergic reactions. It works fast, giving your dog relief from allergy symptoms within 4 hours and effectively controlling their itching within 24 hours. Your dog can feel better sooner and can join you and your family in doing the things you love.
Administering the anti-itch tablets offers a way to give your dog long-lasting relief. Since they last from 12-24 hours, your pet will experience a full day free of pruritis and atopic dermatitis with a convenient twice-daily dose. Additional benefits include a low likelihood of GI upset and no withdrawal needed for skin testing and food allergy maintenance, making it a good option for most dogs with allergies.
