What to Expect with a Cytopoint Injection for Dogs
When your dog receives a Cytopoint injection, you can expect a safe and effective treatment specifically designed to target the itch signals responsible for atopic dermatitis and allergic
dermatitis. Here’s what makes Cytopoint special:
Targeted, Biological Medication
Cytopoint is a biological medication that zeroes in on the main proteins (IL‑31) that trigger
your dog’s itch cycle, rather than suppressing the overall immune system. This means quick,
lasting itch relief with no more side effects like those commonly seen with traditional
pharmaceutical treatments.
Fast Relief and Long Duration
Many dogs show noticeable improvement lasting 4 to 8 weeks after just one injection. In
some cases, the first injection of Cytopoint can begin working in a matter of days,
dramatically reducing scratching, licking and chewing, soothing irritated skin.
Tailored to Your Dog
Every dog is unique. The individual patient dose is carefully calculated by your veterinary
surgeon based on weight and clinical manifestations of canine atopic dermatitis or canine
pruritus. A complete dose is administered during a home visit, and a progress exam is
scheduled to assess the response.
Safe with Other Medications
Cytopoint is considered safe when used alongside other medications, including
those to treat other diseases. Unlike some treatments, it doesn’t suppress your dog’s
immune system or require ongoing use of steroids.
Approved by Experts
Cytopoint is endorsed by the international task force on canine atopic dermatitis and backed
by studies in vet dermatology and experimental pharmacology. These clinical studies confirm
its benefits compared to dogs receiving placebo or traditional therapy and it requires a valid
prescription from your veterinary surgeon.
By choosing atopic itch relief with Cytopoint, your dog can look forward to long lasting itch
relief, easing the painful cycle of scratching due to environmental allergies, and truly
enjoying life’s precious moments again.
If you’re looking for a safe, one injection solution that works with your dog’s body, not against
it, Cytopoint might be the perfect way to break the itch cycle and ease allergic itch, providing relief to restore your dog’s comfort and joy.
