Go beyond the itch with Atopica (cyclosporine capsules). Atopica is the first medication approved for atopic dermatitis in dogs - helping dogs get relief. Atopic dermatitis is a chronic skin disease that leads to irritation from allergens in their environment and is one of the most common causes of itching in dogs. This steroid-free oral medicine has been trusted by veterinarians for over 15 years. It provides long-term dog itch relief, targeting the cause of allergic reactions to reduce itching. Atopic dermatitis causes an uncomfortable cycle that makes your dog itch, scratch, lick and chew their skin. This itch-scratch-lick cycle leads to red spots, crusty sores and hair loss. Atopic dermatitis is often a lifelong condition that can appear seasonally or year-round, but Atopica can help dog and pet parents move beyond the itch and achieve long-lasting relief. Atopica for dogs can help break the uncomfortable cycle. It targets multiple types of immune cells to inhibit a dog's allergic reaction. It's easy to administer. Give one Atopica soft gelatin capsule to your dog daily, at least 1 hour before or 2 hours after a meal. Atopica atopic dermatitis medication can be used in dogs at least 6 months of age, weighing at least 4 lbs. Dosing may vary once your dog is feeling better. Many dog owners see lower costs over time due to flexible, gradual decrease in dosing with 68% of dog owners achieving reduced dosing frequency and increased compliance. Prescription required - ask your vet if Atopica is right for your dog, and help them get long-term relief with proven comfort from Atopica. Atopica is a trademark of Elanco or its affiliates.
