Details
Composition & Mechanism of Action
Active Ingredient: Oclacitinib 16 mg (as Oclacitinib Maleate) per tablet.
Drug Class: Janus Kinase (JAK) Inhibitor.
How It Works: In dogs with allergies, pro-inflammatory and pruritogenic (itch-causing) cytokines bind to cell receptors that signal through JAK enzymes. Apoquel selectively inhibits the JAK-1 enzyme pathway, interrupting itch transmission from the skin to the brain and calming dermal inflammation at the cellular level.
Dosage & Administration Guidelines
Apoquel is a prescription medication. Always administer strictly according to your veterinarian's weight-based calculation.
Typical Protocol:
Induction / Loading Phase: Administered twice daily (every 12 hours) for the first 14 days.
Maintenance Phase: Reduced to once daily (every 24 hours) as directed by your veterinarian.
Administration: Can be given with or without food. If gastrointestinal upset occurs, give alongside a light meal.
Consistency Tip: Administer doses at the same time each day to maintain steady therapeutic blood levels.
