Apoquel Tablet Rx

Apoquel is manufactured by Zoetis and targets common symptoms of allergies in dogs, such as itching and inflammation. Apoquel provides rapid relief of pruritus (itch) associated with allergic dermatitis and provides control of atopic dermatitis in dogs at least 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 older than 12 months of age suffering from flea, contact, and food

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.
