Atopica Capsules for Dogs

Atopica is an immunosuppressant medication specifically indicated for the control of atopic dermatitis in dogs. The active ingredient, cyclosporine, works by specifically targeting the immune cells that trigger the allergic response to environmental factors like pollen, mould, and dust mites. These capsules are formulated to form a microemulsion upon contact with fluids in the digestive tract, ensuring consistent and reliable absorption into the bloodstream. Atopica provides a non-steroidal option for long-term management, effectively reducing the chronic itching, redness, and skin inflammation associated with canine allergies.
