What Are the Effects of Oclacitinib on Dogs?

Introduction of Oclacitinib


Oclacitinib is a type of Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitor medication. This drug can effectively control the itching associated with dog allergies. Oclacitinib can inhibit cytokines that cause inflammation and itching. Oclacitinib is not considered a corticosteroid or antihistamine drug, but its action may be similar. The biggest problem with this drug is its availability. Pharmaceutical companies promise to provide drugs to many clinics, but the supply is always inadequate. Currently, the quotas of many veterinary clinics are very limited. This drug has been proven to be very effective.


This drug can control the itching of dogs and is a good alternative to antihistamine drugs and corticosteroid drugs (such as prednisone, dexamethasone, methylprednisolone, and triamcinolone acetonide). Oclacitinib is very effective in controlling itching without any side effects.


Oclacitinib is a prescription drug that can only be obtained from a veterinarian or through a prescription from a veterinarian. Oclacitinib has been approved and labeled for use in dogs by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA).


Use of Oclacitinib in dogs


Oclacitinib maleate for dogs has been used to treat allergies such as allergic dermatitis and allergies caused by fleas, food, or other substances.
