Apoquel works right at the source to stop itching and relieve inflammation in dogs. Apoquel is a prescription dog allergy medicine used for the control of itch associated with allergic dermatitis and control of atopic dermatitis in dogs 12 months and older. Apoquel reduces dog itch, and also decreases inflammation, redness, or swelling of the skin—so your dog feels better as quickly as possible
Apoquel tablets is used to treat dogs targeting allergy symptons, such as itching and inflammation. It provides quick relief of pruritus (itch) associated with allergic dermatitis and provides control of atopic dermatitis up to 12 months of age. Unlike common therapies such as steroids, cyclosporines or antihistamines, Apoquel is the only treatment specifically designed to go straight to the source of the itch.
Apoquel is for dogs 12+ months old.
Apoquel reduces inflammation in your dog’s skin, similar to glucocorticoids. It also relieves and controls itching caused by flea allergies, food allergies, contact allergies, and atopic dermatitis. Plus, Apoquel targets the cause of the itch, leaving minimal effect on other parts of your dog’s body.
Apoquel starts to relieve the itch within 4 hours, comparable to steroids, and effectively controls the itch within 24 hours. Apoquel also relieves and controls itching in the long term.
