How does ATOPICA work?
ATOPICA selectively targets specific immune cells that cause the dog’s scratching, chewing and other responses to allergens. By targeting these cells, the allergic response is blocked. Based on results from several studies, ATOPICA was generally well tolerated in dogs. As with all drugs, side effects may occur. In a field study, the most common side effects were gastrointestinal signs. Gingival hyperplasia and papillomas may also occur during the initial dosing phase. ATOPICA is not for use in reproducing dogs or dogs with a history of malignant neoplasia.
