Apoquel 16 mg Tablets for dogs
Apoquel 16 mg Tablets is a veterinary prescription medication commonly prescribed for dogs with allergic skin disease, ongoing itch and atopic dermatitis. Many pet owners search for dog allergy medication, itching medication for dogs or dog skin allergy treatment when symptoms such as persistent scratching, licking, red skin, irritated ears or seasonal flare-ups are affecting their pet’s comfort. Apoquel contains oclacitinib and should only be used when prescribed by a veterinarian for the individual dog.
What is Apoquel used for?
Veterinarians may prescribe Apoquel for dogs requiring management of itch and inflammation associated with allergic skin conditions. It may be used as part of a broader treatment plan that also considers flea control, food allergy investigation, skin infection, ear disease and environmental allergy triggers. Your veterinarian determines whether Apoquel is suitable, what strength is required and how long treatment should continue.
Prescription supply through Central Pets
Central Pets is a veterinary prescription dispensary service. Supply is not automatic from the website. A valid veterinary prescription is required and each order is reviewed by our pharmacy team before payment and supply are confirmed. Upload your veterinary prescription online and our pharmacist will check the medicine, strength, quantity and directions before dispensing. If anything is unclear, we may contact you or the prescribing veterinary clinic before supply.
Strengths, repeats and ongoing treatment
Apoquel is available in multiple tablet strengths and is commonly prescribed for ongoing allergy management. Dogs on long-term treatment may require veterinary review and monitoring. Do not change the dose, frequency or treatment duration without veterinary approval. If you have repeats remaining on your prescription, Central Pets can assist with repeat supply once the prescription has been reviewed and validated.
Compounded options and difficult-to-medicate pets
If your dog refuses tablets, requires a tailored dose or needs an alternative dosage form, Central Pets may be able to discuss suitable compounded veterinary options with your veterinarian where clinically appropriate. Compounding is considered when standard manufactured products are unsuitable, unavailable or difficult for the pet to take.
