Apoquel (oclacitinib maleate) is used in the treatment of pruritus associated with allergic and atopic dermatitis in dogs. Please follow dosage instructions as directed by your Veterinary Surgeon. Apoquel can be administered with or without food and the tablets can be broken along the score line. Contraindications: Do not use in dogs less than 12 months of age or less than 3 kg bodyweight. Do not use in dogs with evidence of immune suppression, such as hyperadrenocorticism, or with evidence of progressive malignant neoplasia as the active substance has not been evaluated in these cases. The safety of Apoquel during pregnancy, lactation or in dogs intended for breeding has not been established, so its use is not recommended. Oclacitinib modulates the immune system and may increase susceptibility to infection and exacerbate neoplastic conditions. Dogs receiving Apoquel tablets should therefore be monitored periodically with complete blood counts and serum biochemistry when on long-term treatment.
