Terms & Conditions of Program
A generic drug is a copy of the brand-name drug with the same dosage, safety, strength, quality, consumption method, performance, and intended use. Before generics become available on the market, the generic company must prove it has the same active ingredients as the brand-name drug and works in the same way and in the same amount of time in the body.
The only differences between generics and their brand-name counterparts is that generics are less expensive and may look slightly different (eg. different shape or color), as trademarks laws prevent a generic from looking exactly like the brand-name drug.
Generics are less expensive because generic manufacturers don't have to invest large sums of money to develop a drug. When the brand-name patent expires, generic companies can manufacture a copy of the brand-name and sell it at a substantial discount.
Apoquel (oclacitinib maleate) is used by or on the prescription order of a licensed veterinarian for the treatment of itching in dogs due to allergic dermatitis and to treat atopic dermatitis in dogs that are 1 years old or older.

Your veterinarian's instructions for administering Apoquel to your dog should be followed. Weight determines the dosage of Apoquel, so be sure to discuss with your veterinarian the appropriate dose for your dog. Any questions or concerns should be addressed by your veterinarian or pharmacist.
Apoquel is available in tablets; the dosing is between 0.18 mg and 0.27 mg per pound of your dog's body weight. It should be given by mouth twice daily with or without food for up to 2 weeks, then given one time a day for maintenance.
The active ingredient contained in Apoquel is olacitinib.
Diarrhea, vomiting, anorexia, new cutaneous or subcutaneous lump, weakness, and excessive thirst may be induced by the use of Apoquel. Monitor your dog for worrisome or persistent side effects and immediately call your veterinarian if you become concerned.
