Atopica (Cyclosporine) USP MODIFIED Oral Solution for Cats, 100mg/mL, 5 mL or 17mL

Description: Atopica for Cats (cyclosporine oral solution) USP MODIFIED is the first FDA-approved product for the control of feline allergic dermatitis. Allergic dermatitis is an inflammatory condition of your cat's skin caused by allergies in their environment that leaves them scratching, rubbing and licking. This steroid-free oral medicine has been trusted by veterinarians for over 10 years. It provides long-term cat itch relief, targeting the cause of allergic reactions to reduce itching. Allergic dermatitis causes an irritating cycle that makes your cat itch, scratch, lick and chew their skin. This itch-scratch-lick cycle leads to red spots, crusty sores and hair loss. This formula is steroid-free - meeting the needs of cat owners looking for an alternative to steroid solutions. Atopica for Cats can help break that uncomfortable cycle. It's easy to administer: simply mix the solution with a small amount of your cat's food, or give it directly in their mouth. Improvement can typically be seen as early as 4-6 weeks after the start of treatment. In clinical trials, approximately 4 out 5 cat owners considered treatment with Atopica for Cats a success. Atopica for Cats oral solution can be used daily in cats at least 6 months of age, weighing at least 3 lbs. of body weight. Dosing may vary once your cat is feeling better. Many see long-term relief with a gradual reduction in the dose. By the 3rd month of treatment, more than 80% of cats maintained an every-other-day dosing or less. Prescription required - ask your vet if Atopica for Cats is right for your cat, and help them break the cycle and get relief from feline allergic dermatitis.
