Apoquel is a prescription medication for dogs that helps control itching from allergies and other skin conditions. Apoquel works by blocking cytokines, the source of itching and inflammation in the body. This medication does not contain a steroid or antihistamine, and provides fast and lasting relief. Apoquel may begin working in as little as four hours and fully control itching within 24 hours.

Apoquel may be prescribed by your dog’s veterinarian to control short term or long term itching and inflammation from dermatitis, environmental allergies, food allergies, fleas, or other irritants.
What else should I know about Apoquel?
Indicated to control itching associated with allergic and other skin disorders.
Contains oclacitinib, a drug that suppresses the immune system. Not a corticosteroid or antihistamine. May control itching within 24 hrs. Apoquel should be stored at controlled room temperature between 20° to 25°C with excursions between 15° to 40°C.
