LIVING LIFE IN A CONTROL ZONE OF COMFORT.
Most dogs that have been diagnosed with atopic dermatitis have been treated with a variety of treatments – shampoos, antihistamines, steroids, essential fatty acids, topical creams and sprays, antibiotics, special diets – often in combination. These traditional treatments are often ineffective or come with the risk of serious side effects if used over long periods of time.
 


 

ATOPICA provides pet owners with a simple and effective treatment option that has been proven effective in a majority of dogs. ATOPICA is the first oral non-steroidal treatment approved to control the clinical signs of canine atopic dermatitis.
 

In clinical trials, pruritus (itching) and skin lesions were significantly reduced in 76% of dogs within four weeks.*
 

 
 

PROVEN SAFE.
In multiple safety trials, ATOPICA has been proven to be well tolerated when given to dogs at the labeled dosage of 5 mg/kg/day. The most common side effects were gastrointestinal signs (temporary vomiting and abnormal stools). Gingival hyperplasia and oral papillomas may also occur during the initial dosing phase. When the dose is tapered or the drug withdrawn, these side effects are typically reversed.
 

 
 


 

As with all drugs, side effects may occur. In a field study, the most common side effects were gastrointestinal signs. Gingival hyperplasia and papillomas may also occur during the initial dosing phase. ATOPICA is not for use in dogs with a history of malignant neoplasia, or with a demonstrated sensitivity to Cyclosporine A.
