Apoquel for dogs from Zoetis Petcare is an anti itch or allergy medicine usually prescribed by veterinarians in cases of extreme skin itching like atopic dermatitis, atopy, skin allergies, food allergies, flea allergies etc. It is a novel and better approach at preventing itching unlike regular itch remedies like antihistamines, prednisolone and steroids(hydrocortisone) which usually show a lot of side effects. Side effects are 1 in 10,000(very less) for apoquel and works better as well.

Made in USA. FDA approved. Imported and marketed in India by Zoetis Inc. It is is the first medicine specifically designed to target canine allergic itch and inflammation. The oclacitinib in apoquel works by inhibiting enzymes involved in allergic itch and inflammation in dogs as it is a synthetic Janus Kinase (JAK) inhibitor.

Apoquel delivers fast relief that begins to control itch within 4 hours, comparable to oral steroids, in dogs with allergic dermatitis with least side effects. Nonsteroidal Apoquel targets specific cytokines that cause itch and inflammation, relieving symptoms of allergic skin disease with minimal impact on the immune system. Starts working within 4 hours of administration. Relieves itching within 4 hours and effectively controls itching within 24 hours of administration.
