Atopica targets the specific immune cells responsible for the dog’s allergic reactions, and avoids the use of steroids and their long-term risks to the entire immune system.

Directions
Atopica is for use on dogs of 4 lbs. and above. It is given in one daily oral dose for a month, and can be adjusted depending on the dog’s response until it often reaches a schedule of no more than every other day. The initial dose is based on the dog’s weight, according to the recommendation of a veterinarian.
Ingredients
Cyclosporine A
Side Effects
Atopica can have gastrointestinal side effects such as a simple upset stomach or loss of appetite, or even vomiting and diarrhea; many dogs adjust to the medicine and these symptoms fade. Papillomas (warts) may also occur initially when a dog is previously infected with the papilloma virus. Other reported side effects include callusing on the footpads, redness and swelling in the ear flaps, and gingival hyperplasia.
Pregnant or nursing female dogs should not use Atopica, nor should those with a history of malignant neoplasia.
