Aqupharm No.1 0.9 % w/v Solution for infusion 500ml

Apoquel for dogs offers relief from the itch and inflammation of allergies in dogs. Apoquel is a once-daily pill given by mouth, and it works by inhibiting the production of certain proteins involved in the allergic response.

Apoquel tablets are small, white tablets that are scored for easy breaking, and the active ingredient is 3.6, 5.4 or 16 mg oclacitinib (as oclacitinib maleate). Tablets can be taken with or without food.

How To Buy 5.4mg Apoquel For Dogs

Apoquel is a prescription-only medication. This means that before you complete your purchase, you are required to upload a prescription through our online portal.

How To Use Apoquel Tablets 

The recommended starting dose of Apoquel for dogs is 0.4 to 0.6 mg/kg (0.18 to 0.27 mg/lb) twice daily for up to 14 days. For maintenance therapy, the same dose (0.4 to 0.6 mg oclacitinib/kg bodyweight) should then be administered only once a day. The requirement for long-term maintenance therapy should be based on an individual benefit-risk assessment.
