Rx Apoquel 3.6mg x 1 Tablet – Fast-Acting Relief for Dog Itching & Skin Allergies
Apoquel provides targeted relief for canine itching and inflammation caused by flea allergies, food allergies, contact dermatitis, and atopic dermatitis. This fast-acting medication starts working within 4 hours and effectively controls itching within 24 hours. Safe for short- or long-term use, Apoquel can be used alongside other treatments, including pest control solutions, antibiotics, vaccines, and allergen-specific therapies, helping your dog stay comfortable while your veterinarian addresses the underlying cause.
How Apoquel Works:
