How Do Biologic Medications work to control Itching in Dogs?

CYTOPOINT

Is a safe, effective, long-lasting treatment for dogs with atopic dermatitis.

CYTOPOINT starts controlling environmental allergic itch within 1 day and reduces scratching, chewing, licking, and biting of the skin for up to 8 weeks.

In a study, CYTOPOINT helped damaged skin to begin healing within 7 days.

Diagram illustrating how cytopoint works in the immune system to block itch signals. It shows a skin surface with scratching causing skin damage, allergen penetration leading to allergic reactions, and nerve activation sending itch signals to the brain. The diagram highlights the process where Cytopoint interrupts itch at the beginning of the cycle.

Apoquel

is specifically designed to target the pathways that result in the sensation of itch and the inflammation associated with allergic conditions, regardless of the cause, such as flea allergy or contact allergy.

Apoquel works at itch neurons within the skin, preventing the transmission of the itch signal to the brain and the scratching behavior

Owners reported a significant decrease in itching four hours after giving Apoquel and experienced a sustained improvement of skin lesions within four weeks
