Atopica is the first medication licensed specifically for the treatment of chronic atopic dermatitis in dogs. It's proven to significantly relieve pruritus and reduce skin lesions^1,2 and its side effects are generally mild, transient and reversible¹. It's also particularly suitable as a long term therapy – many dogs remain comfortable with a tapered dose of Atopica (every other day or twice weekly)^1-5.
