Apoquel (Oclacitinib) Tablets for Dogs, 5.4 mg

Apoquel Tablets control itching (pruritis) associated with allergic dermatitis and control atopic dermatitis in dogs at least 12 months of age. It goes right to the source to help stop itching and relieve associated inflammation in affected canines providing relief in as little as 4 hours. Apoquel is given twice daily for up to 14 days, and then given once daily for maintenance therapy. You can use for both short-term or long-term therapy in your dog and discontinue use without tapering. Since Apoquel is neither a steroid nor an antihistamine, your dog will avoid many of the unpleasant side effects that are often associated with these medications.

• #1 Prescribed Oral Medicine for Allergic Itch [1]: Apoquel is a revolutionary oral medicine for dogs with allergic itch. Apoquel can be used short-term or for long-term maintenance therapy [2,3] in dogs 12 months of age and older.
• Stops allergic itch at the source [4]: Apoquel is not a steroid, antihistamine, or cyclosporine (a type of drug that reduces immune system activity). Apoquel is in a different category of medications. Unlike other medicines, Apoquel blocks allergic itch at the source. So, it works at the underlying cause of itch to provide relief fast. 
• Fast-Acting Allergy Itch Relief: If your dog is scratching, licking, or chewing like crazy, you want to provide fast, effective relief. Apoquel Tablets start relieving allergic itch within 4 hours [5] and control it within 24 hours [2]. Apoquel has been prescribed to over 14 million dogs and counting [6].
• Can be used with many other medications [3] including: nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), vaccines (such as rabies), and allergen-specific immunotherapy (allergy shots or drops).
• Available in Three Strengths: Apoquel Tablets come in 3.6 mg, 5.4 mg, and 16 mg based on your dog’s body weight. Follow your veterinarian’s instructions for dosing as prescribed. You can administer to your dog orally once a day with or without food. Apoquel is now available in a pork-liver flavored chewable.
