Zoetis

Allergic dermatitis claim

The USDA has granted an expanded indication for Cytopoint, a novel monoclonal antibody therapy, for the treatment of allergic dermatitis in dogs. Cytopoint was licensed to treat atopic dermatitis in 2016, so it is now indicated for both conditions. Administered every four to eight weeks, one injection of Cytopoint works by targeting and neutralizing interleukin-31 (IL-31), a key protein involved in triggering itch in dogs. Cytopoint begins to relieve itch within 24 hours and provides sustained itch relief for four to eight weeks, giving the skin time to heal. It may be used together with Apoquel (oclacitinib) to manage intermittent flare of pruritus due to fleas, food or seasonal factors. For more information, visit cytopoint.com.
