Great for skin itching issues
My English bulldog had severe hot spots & allergy related itching. Couldn't keep him on steroids any longer so Vet suggested Atopica. He has been on it 2 years now and no more itching and hair loss issues. This is also my first time ordering from vet redirect and good experience do far.

This medication saved my dog's life. He had a severe case of IBD caused by an allergy to mass produced dog food. This medicine helped relax his allergic reaction while tested his varying diets.

Heaven has had awful allergies since she was a puppy. Our Vet put her on this medication for the past 7 years which has greatly helped her to fight her symptoms for all these years. Our Vet has requested that we begin to purchase Atopica online. Once I began the hunt for a reasonable price I found your company that helped with our budget. The medication came in a timely manner and upon opening the package I found an extra surprise just for our baby girl, Heaven She loves her cookies!
Good stuff

I've ordered this product from this website several times. It always arrives in a timely manner and even comes with a little cookie for my dog each time. I wouldn't order from anywhere else.
He has been able to live a happy life.

At one time I worked for a board certified veterinary dermatologist. I adopted Elvis from a humane society when he was about one year of age. After I had him in my home for about 6 weeks, he began exhibiting typical signs of an allergic cat, chewing his forelegs and the backs of his rear legs. Steroids relieved his symptoms, but he couldn't stay on that for the rest of his life. It was recommended to try Atopica. It relieved his symptoms and he has been able to live a long and comfortable life. He will be 14 years old in March.

Q
What makes Atopica different from a script for generic cyclosporin (modified) which I am finding is significantly cheaper (since it is the base or active ingredient in Atopica) ??
- Asked by Tad
-
Verified Reply - VetRxDirect Atopica is a vet labeled, brand name medication that contains cyclosporine as the active ingredient. Generic cyclosporine, a human labeled medication, contains the same active ingredient and may be prescribed by veterinarians for use in animals. A generic medication is equivalent to a brand name medication in dose, safety, effectiveness, strength, stability, and quality, as well as in the way it is taken and the way it should be used.

Q
My dog has been using Apoquel for his skin allergies. How does Atopica compare to Apoquel??
- Asked by Harry
-
Verified Reply - These drugs work by affecting the function of certain chemically controlled pathways in the body. In dogs, both drugs work on pathways that are involved in inflammation. Atopica works only on pathways that affect inflammation. Apoquel works both on pathways that control inflammation and pathways that control allergy responses. If you have questions about which treatment is more appropriate for your dog or are interested in switching treatments, please consult your veterinarian. Thank you, VetRxDirect

Q
I have a script from my vet for atopica may I fax this to you or do I have to mail it I am in your system as I placed an order for this and you faxed the request to my vet which in turn waited and now has given it to me.?
- Asked by cinny

Open Reply - VetRxDirect Cinny, If your veterinarian will not fax the prescription directly to us and has issued you a written prescription instead, we do need that mailed to us, as, per pharmacy law, we are required to have the original prescription. Thank you, VetRxDirect
