Atopica contains the active ingredient Ciclosporin. It is used to relieve the intense itching seen in dogs and cats suffering from atopic dermatis or atopy. This is a common condition caused by an allergy to inhaled allergens such as house dust, house dust mites and pollen grains. Atopica is often used as an alternative to steroid treatment so as to avoid the steroid side effects. Atopica works on the immune system to stop it reacting to the allergen. Atopy can be the cause of unpleasant symptoms such as constant itching, scratching and nibbling. If these are left untreated they will often continue for years, causing a significant reduction in quality of life. Atopica provides a dramatic improvement for most affected dogs and cats.
Atopica is best given on a completely empty stomach, so no food should be given for 2 hours before or after the Atopica capsules. Vomiting might sometimes occur. Once the symptoms of itching and scratching are under control, the dose can often be reduced and Atopica does not need to be given every day. Atopica is not suitable for very young animals. If skin infection is present as a complication of the atopic dermatitis, then this should be treated first.

Atopica is an expensive drug when giving to a 45 kg dog but it has improved his skin condition where other drugs have not. Cheaper from violet than from our vet who happily gave us a prescription. 3 weeks into treatment now with one more week to go before next vet visit. Am hoping to be able to reduce to 1 tablet a day which would be easier to administer and for the cost.

Below are some recent questions we've received regarding Atopica for Dogs & Cats, including answers from our team.
Maggie
I am finding it impossible to disguise the liquid Atopica in my cats food or directly in her mouth. Might the capsules be more successful?
If you are struggling with the liquid then I expect the capsules will be even more challenging to administer. I recommend dosing directly into the mouth or mixing with very palatable food. The datasheet states the following regarding dosing:
The product can be given either mixed with food or directly into the mouth. If given with food, the solution should be mixed with a small amount of food, preferably after a sufficient period of fasting to ensure complete consumption by the cat. Should the cat not accept the product mixed with food, it should be given by inserting the syringe directly into the cat's mouth and delivering the entire dose. In case the cat only partially consumes the product mixed with food, administration of the product with the syringe should be resumed only the next day.
