Good product minimal side effects
My Great Pyrenees hasn't been getting this for 6 months. Great alternative to Atopica and keeps her from smelling "musky" due to allergies.
Most Liked Negative Review
It used to work :(
The first time I got this drug (and it was HARD! My own vet couldn't get it), it worked like a charm.
So I'm not sure what the deal is, but it's not working. My vet asked me if I noticed it not working in which I said yes...she said that she'd been seeing that a lot. Told me to give 2 (5.4 mg) if I felt I needed to.
So that leaves me wondering since it was in such high demand, has the formula weakened to accommodate the masses? For the expense of this drug, it is NOT CHEAP. I expect it to work. Not very satisfied.

Works for my dog
From UndisclosedComments about Apoquel (oclacitinib) 16mg TabletThis product was recommended by my veterinarian to help with his allergy issues. I can really see a difference since taking it. He was miserable prior to being prescribed. He used to lick his paws continuously. He did not have a restful night. Now, he barely licks them. -

Apoquel is FDA-approved in dogs for the control of pruritus (itchy skin) associated with allergic dermatitis and control of atopic dermatitis. It works by inhibiting cytokines which are thought to play a role in inflammatory, pruritic and allergic processes. If your dog is licking her paws because they itch, Apoquel may help reduce or stop the licking.
