DESCRIPTION: Apoquel Tablet is for the treatment of chronic manifestations of atopic dermatitis in dogs. Apoquel is a new treatment for the control of atopic dermatitis, the most common allergic skin disease in dogs

USES:Apoquel from Zoetis provides rapid relief of pruritus (itch) in dogs 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.

You will need to give your dog 2 doses per day for up to 14 days. After 14 days, you will need to give your dog only 1 dose of APOQUEL per day. Dosage and Administration: The dose of APOQUEL (oclacitinib maleate) tablets is 0.18 to 0.27 mg oclacitinib/lb (0.4 to 0.6 mg oclacitinib/kg) body weight, administered orally, twice daily for up to 14 days, and then administered once daily for maintenance therapy.
