Cytopoint
This treatment applies to the following species:
Manufacturer: Zoetis
Canine Atopic Dermatitis Immunotherapeutic
For Use in Dogs Only
Cytopoint™ aids in the reduction of clinical signs associated with atopic dermatitis in dogs.
Cytopoint™ is a ready-to-use, sterile liquid containing a caninized monoclonal antibody (mAb) against interleukin-31 (IL-31). IL-31 has been shown to induce pruritus in dogs in laboratory studies.
Cytopoint™ remains in circulation for several weeks. It exerts a therapeutic effect by binding to and neutralizing soluble IL-31, thus inhibiting pruritus and reducing skin lesions. Like other naturally-occurring antibodies and antibody-antigen complexes, elimination is via normal protein degradation pathways.
SAFETY: A field safety study has demonstrated that Cytopoint™ is well tolerated in dogs after subcutaneous injection. Adverse events occurred at a similar frequency between treated and placebo groups in a study of 245 canine patients presented to veterinary hospitals and diagnosed with atopic dermatitis. In this study, dogs were administered Cytopoint™ (1.0-3.3 mg/kg body weight) or placebo by the subcutaneous route on Days 0 and 28. Signs of patient discomfort on administration and adverse events occurred at a similar frequency between treatment groups. In addition, there was no clinically important difference in clinical pathology changes between groups following either dose. A wide variety of concomitant medications were safely used, including parasiticides, antibiotics, antifungals, corticosteroids, vaccines, immunotherapy, antihistamines and other antipruritics, such as oclacitinib and cyclosporine.

Although expensive, it helps greatly to stop her having itchy skins n and ears
Customer recommends this product
The monthly injection works on my itchy doggies and, having switched from Apoquel, I'm a little less worried about the risks.
Customer recommends this product
My dog has been with Cytopoint for several years. It effectively controls the effects and clinical signs of her allergies. It is practical, with one injection per month and effective.

Product is excellent
Customer recommends this product
My dog uses Cytopoint once a month. It helps to settle her allergies (she suffers from severe allergies). She has considerably reduced allergy reaction; there's less fur loss, licking, cysts between toes, sneezing, and general itching. I would recommend sticking to regular appointments for the injection because if you miss it and you fall out of sync the allergies can flare up and it can be difficult to get the reaction under control and get back into the swing of it, but the Cytopoint really does help. It is stored in the fridge, so you may want to bring it up to room temperature before injecting so you pet doesn't feel shocked by the cold liquid going in.I was originally paying the vets directly over £100 per vial but with Viovet I only have to buy every other month as the same pack is basically two for one so I have set up an automatic repeat to send directly to my vet to store, it takes the stress out of having to remember to re-order when my vials are used up. Well worth putting on repeat and for the price.

Below are some recent questions we've received regarding Cytopoint, including answers from our team.
Nikki Palmer
I have a chihuahua who only weights 2.5kg and therefore requires half a 10mg vial. Can the remainder be stored and used for the next months dose?
If only half a vial is used, the remaining portion should not be stored for future use. The manufacturer advises that the vial should be used immediately once opened, and any unused portion should be discarded. This is due to concerns about the sterility and efficacy of the remaining medication once exposed to air and potentially contaminated.
ELAINE MCCULLOCH
Our Frenchie has been having Cytopoint from our Vet, but it is so expensive. What size dose should I order (he is just under 12KG)
Dosage should be prescribed by the vet, then we can fulfil the prescription for you.
For more information on vet prescriptions, see here.
How often do the injections need to be given?
The datasheet for this medication states it is for monthly use.
Jennifer Mckay
My dog has unknown allergies, he's currently on steroids. His allergies make him itchy and come out in hotspots but also a very bad consistent cough. I'm wondering if this would help with that too?
Cytopoint is indicated for the treatment of pruritus associated with allergic dermatitis and the treatment of clinical manifestations of atopic dermatitis in dogs.
The itching and hot spots can be a sign of this but coughing is not a standard sign of the above. Therefore the coughing is possibly unrelated, you should discuss this with your prescribing vet as the cause of this may need treating.
Chiyong Song
each pack 5vials? so totla 2packs, 10vials?
This medication comes in packs of 2 vials. Therefore 2 packs will be 4 vials.

I’m asking about this as my dog has just started this medication from my vet but would like to give it at home
Needles and syringes are not included with this medication. It is best to contact your vet to discuss what your individual dog will require, you can then find these on our website for purchase.
If you would like specific advice on what sizes your dog needs then please get in touch at [email protected] mentioning your dog breed/weight and the medication you are using.

Hello,
My vet wrote 3 vials on the prescription and not an even number. How should I go about ordering as it appears vials are only available in boxes of 2?
Many thanks.
This product only comes in boxes of two unfortunately. However the extra vial that is not purchased will be kept on your script and it can contribute to future orders placed with us. For example, if you get another script for 3 vials and your current one is not expired then you can use both to receive a total of 3 boxes.
Barbara Watkinson
She is just under 29kgs & 10 years old
Cytopoint definitely got rid of a lot of her scaly patches
Had hair loss
She’s on her 3rd 40mg injection today
How long will she need to have them
This medication relieves the signs of allergic or atopic dermatitis. These conditions are present as long as the triggers are still present, your dog may need the medication lifelong if the triggers cannot be removed (e.g. grass allergy). It is best discussing this with your vet as they may have an idea of what these are for your specific dog.
Dee Edwards
My vet has suggested worst case scenario my dog may need Cytapoint and the cost is way beyond us. However the vet has said they can show us how to administer and we could order 6 months medication to save money. However, I am not clear on the cost as it says two vials and 1 x 10mg so I am not clear on what I need to purchase for her. If she needs one pack every 6 months then unfortunately this works out more expensive than the vet. If she only needs one pack every 2 months then this is half the cost and a bit more doable for us. Can you clarify for me please?
This medication is dispensed in packs of 2. The price listings on the site are for a pack of 2 vials, so yes you will need to order 1 pack every 2 months.
Sarah St Bernard
My St Bernard weighs 64.9 KG so what volume of drug do I need to purchase?
If I have to buy more than required to give at one time will the excess keep in a temperature controlled environment?
Will a refrigerator, at 4 degrees, be a suitable storage place?
This is a prescription only medication so you will need to chat to your prescribing vet to see if the product is appropriate for your dog.
According to the datasheet a 64.9kg dog will need 1 x 30mg and 1 x 40mg vial injected per dose. This product must be stored between 2 and 8C, these are refridgerator conditions so storing in a fridge is fine. Our temperature controlled packaging ensures the medication will arrive temporarily within these storage conditions, it can then be stored in the fridge until the product expiry date as per the bottle itself.
