Apoquel is a powerful, anti allergic treatment for pruritis associated with allergic dermatitis and atopic dermatitis in dogs. It also helps in the itching associated with food allergies in canines. Apoquel is a fast acting anti-inflammatory treatment that starts working within 4 hours of its administration. It also removes complete itching within 24 hours. Dogs that are over 12 months of age and weigh more than 6.6 lbs can be successfully treated with Apoquel.
How Does It Work?
Apoquel is a highly effective treatment for eliminating allergic reaction in dogs. Oclacitinib maleate,the active ingredient in the product gets readily absorbed by the body and starts acting in few hours to provide relief.

Great medication
Works really well for my dog's itching from his allergies. However, it is very expensive. Hopefully a generic will be offered soon and we don't have to mortgage our homes each time we need to buy it. It is a patent medicine and I think after 10 yrs. on the market, generics become available (don't quote me on that).
