When transitioning to once daily dosing, owners may acknowledge a slight increase in itch. In most cases this is temporary as the dog adjusts to the lower dose.11 |

For maintenance therapy after 14 days, the same dose is administered once daily |

Tablets can be administered with or without food, and with many other commonly used medications as well as vaccinations.1 |

Treatment duration is dependent on the individual patient and the severity of itch, and should be adapted according to the underlying disease. |
APOQUEL® does not interfere with skin allergy or serology testing allowing veterinary surgeons to manage the symptom of pruritis while diagnosing the underlying condition.6
