Apoquel is a medication used to treat pruritus associated with allergic dermatitis in dogs and clinical manifestations of atopic dermatitis in dogs.

Active substance: Oclacitinib.

Posology and route of administration:

The recommended starting dose is 0.4 to 0.6 mg/kg of oclacitinib administered orally twice daily for 14 days.

For maintenance therapy (after the initial 14 days), the same dose should be administered (0.4 to 0.6 mg/kg) once a day.

Apoquel tablets are chewable, palatable and quickly consumed by most dogs. These tablets can be taken with or without food. The dosage table in the package leaflet indicates the number of pills needed. Tablets can be split through the groove in the middle.

The need for long-term maintenance therapy should be based on an individual risk-benefit assessment by the responsible veterinarian.

Do not administer in case of hypersensitivity to the active substance or to any of the excipients. Do not administer to dogs less than 12 months of age or less than 3 kg of body weight. Do not use in dogs with evidence of immunosuppression, such as hyperadrenocorticism, or with evidence of progressive malignancy, as the active substance has not been evaluated in these cases.
