A masked, multisite, well - controlled study of 436 dogs conducted at 26 veterinary clinics in the US evaluated the effectiveness and safety of APOQUEL, dosed orally twice daily (BID) at 0.4 to 0.6 mg / kg for the control of pruritus associated
with allergic dermatitis, including
flea allergy, food allergy, contact allergy and atopic
dermatitis

Allergic disease:
Allergic dermatitis, food allergies, flea allergy, and allergic gastrointestinal and respiratory
Allergic dermatitis, food allergies,
flea allergy, and
allergic gastrointestinal and respiratory
allergic gastrointestinal and respiratory disease
It is important to note that dogs
with other forms of allergies (such as inhaled allergies, or «atopic
dermatitis»), are highly sensitive to
flea bites and are therefore much more susceptible to FAD than dogs that don't have other
allergic conditions.
