50mg Atopica Capsule - per Capsule

Atopic dermatitis is a chronic skin condition that affects many dogs, causing them discomfort and distress. Atopic dermatitis manifests as itchy, red, irritated, and sometimes scaly skin. This condition can be triggered by various environmental allergens, such as pollen, dust mites, and moulds. If your dog is constantly scratching, licking, or biting its skin, it might be suffering from atopic dermatitis.

Atopica 50mg Capsules are designed specifically to address the root causes of atopic dermatitis in dogs. Unlike many treatments that merely mask the symptoms, Atopica works at the cellular level. The active ingredient, Cyclosporine, targets specific cells in the immune system, preventing the body's overreaction to allergens, which is the primary cause of the symptoms associated with atopic dermatitis.

50mg Atopica Capsules contain cyclosporine, which suppresses the body's immune system. By doing so, it prevents the immune system from overreacting to allergens, thereby reducing the inflammation and itchiness associated with atopic dermatitis. Atopica doesn't just provide temporary relief; it addresses the underlying issue, offering a more long-term solution.

Description

50mg Atopica Capsule for Dogs with Atopic Dermatitis

Atopica may only be supplied with a valid veterinary prescription issued by your vet. You should only purchase Atopica if you have or are in the process of arranging such a prescription.  See information bar for further details.  

50mg Atopica are soft capsules containing 50mg cyclosporine A. The capsules bear the imprint 'NVR' and are labelled with the amount of active ingredient in milligrams.

Atopica 50 mg: yellow-white oblong capsule

Atopica is used for the treatment of chronic manifestations of atopic dermatitis in dogs.

The mean recommended dose of cyclosporine is 5 mg/kg body weight according to the tabulated dosage scheme.

Atopica dosage scheme: Body weight of dog Number of capsules given to obtain recommended dose Atopica 10mg Atopica 25mg Atopica 50mg Atopica 100mg 2 to < 3 kg 1 capsule 3 to < 4 kg 2 capsules 4 to < 7.5 kg 1 capsule 7.5 to < 15 kg 1 capsule 15 to < 29 kg 1 capsule 29 to < 36 kg 3 capsules 36 to 55 kg 2 capsules Atopica will initially be given daily until a satisfactory clinical improvement is seen. This will generally be the case within 4 weeks. If no response is obtained within the first 8 weeks the treatment should be stopped. Once the clinical signs of atopic dermatitis are satisfactorily controlled the preparation can then be given every other day as a maintenance dose. The veterinary surgeon should perform a clinical assessment at regular intervals and adjust the frequency of administration to the clinical response obtained.

In some cases where the clinical signs are controlled with every-other-day dosing the veterinary surgeon can decide to give Atopica every 3 to 4 days. Adjunct treatment (e.g. medicated shampoos fatty acids) may be considered before reducing the dosing interval. Treatment may be stopped when the clinical signs are controlled. Upon recurrence of clinical signs treatment should be resumed at daily dosing and in certain cases repeated treatment courses may be required.

Atopica should be given at least 2 hours before or after feeding. Insert the capsule directly into the dog's mouth.
