Cyclavance 100mg/ml 15ml

Cyclavance is a medication indicated for the treatment of chronic manifestations of atopic dermatitis in dogs and symptomatic treatment of chronic allergic dermatitis in cats.

Active substance: Cyclosporine 100mg/ml.

Cyclosporine (also known as cyclosporine A, CsA) is a selective immunosuppressant. Cyclosporine exerts anti-inflammatory and antipruritic activity in the treatment of atopic dermatitis.

The clinical symptoms of atopic dermatitis, such as itching and skin inflammation, are not specific to this disease. Other causes of dermatitis such as ectoparasite infestation, other allergies that cause dermatological symptoms ( ie flea allergy dermatitis or food allergy) or bacterial or fungal infections should be excluded before starting treatment. It is good practice to treat flea infestation before and during treatment of atopic dermatitis.

Target species: Dogs and cats.

Dosage and route of administration:

For oral administration. The recommended dose of ciclosporin is 5 mg/kg bodyweight (0.05 ml oral solution per kg bodyweight) and should be administered daily initially. The frequency of administration should subsequently be reduced depending on the response. Once the clinical symptoms of atopic dermatitis are satisfactorily controlled, the product may then be administered on alternate days. The veterinarian should carry out periodic clinical assessment and adjust the frequency of administration to the clinical response achieved. In some cases where clinical symptoms are controlled with alternate day dosing, the veterinarian may decide to administer the product every 3 or 4 days. The lowest effective frequency to maintain remission of clinical symptoms should be used.
