generic works great |

According to pharmacists, a drug cannot be called "generic" unless it IS the same compound as the "name brand".
I've been using "generic" for 1 year on a dog with severe allergies. The generic has allowed regrowth of hair. She has a thick coat at age 10 and hasn't had hair since age 4. She is so healthy she went into heat last month, and hadn't done that since age 4 either.
If you switch to generic, stick with it. Literature says it takes weeks or months to see improvement. Like others here, I saw slight improvement in about 3 weeks. However, it did take several months for all of her hair to grow back. It's a slow process.
She is on 100 mg. per day. Recently, I started skipping every 3rd day to see if we can get along on that dose. I tried every other day about 6 months ago, and that wasn't enough. She started to itch and lose her hair again. So, it's a trial and error process.

My dog has had atopic dermatitis for 3 years now. After using Atopica from the vet all of his symptoms cleared up and he stop scratching within a few weeks.
I purchased the generic cyclosporine in an attempt to cost costs (after $1,000.00's in vet bills I'm sure you can relate). I found that after two months my dog is still scratching, and chewing his stomach and legs all of the time. He does however, have most of his hair back.
I'm going back to the name brand, the difference in cost is totally worth it.

my austrailian shepherd developed allergies 6 months ago at age 3.5.
after a thousand dollars of vet bills for allergy tests,shots(steroids)and Benadryl, nothing helped, his belly was red with pimple like sores and his back paws were liked clean of hair. After 5 days of 100mg cyclosporine his belly is a mellow pink color with no soresand its on its way to being normal and he has totally stopped licking his paws and all the hair is growing back, first 2 days he threw up and then his system got used to the medication, HE'S DOING GREAT !!!
I would reccomend to all

cyclosporine/ atopica |

I STATED USING ATOPICA 200MG DAILY AND THIS PILL REALLY WORKS AFTER YEARS OF FIGHTING ALLERGIES WITH MY GERMAN SHEPERD. AFTER $1000.00 FOR 10 WEEKS OF ATOPICA I PURCHASED THE GENERIC CYCLOSPORINE FROM ALLIVET. AFTER GIVING IT FOR A WEEK MY DOG STARTED TO LICK AND SCRATCH ALL OVER AGAIN. SOON AS I GAVE HER ONE DOSE OF THE BRAND NAME ATOPICA SHE STOPPED ITCHING AGAIN. SO TO SUM IT UP IF TO EXPENSIVE FOR YOU TO BUY TRY TO MIX AND MATCH TO HELP CUT COST. SINCE I STARTED ATOPICA MY DOG IS HAPPY AS A PUPPY AGAIN AND LOOKING GREAT.
