What is Apoquel used for?
Apoquel contains the active ingredient oclacitinib. It is a synthetic JAK inhibitor used to treat and control pruritus (itching) caused by atopic and allergic dermatitis. It should reduce itch and inflammation within 24 hours of your pet's dose. It is not recommended for dogs less than 12 months of age. Apoquel works by managing the receptors that result in itching sensations. It is usually recommended for dog owners when non medical solutions are ineffective. It is usually used in the short term to manage symptoms.
