Atopica 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.

Worked amazing on my fur baby. Took a while to get him diagnosed with allergies first vet said he had organ failure so took him to another vet and she was brilliant knew what was happening to him. All his fur has grown back on his belly and his chin spots has gone. He was so uncomfortable with his skin being itchy constantly grooming, poor thing. But this treatment has worked so well he is back to being a happy playful cat again. Thank you

Atopica was prescribed by the Lumbry Park dermatolgist as the only medication for the job! Our cat is not very co-operative so my ratings are all about the medication and not about the ease of use for my cat!

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.
