Stay On Top of Your Dog’s Allergic Itch Treatments With Worry-Free Reminders
How Does Cytopoint Work?
Cytopoint works like your dog’s own immune system. It is specifically designed to target and neutralize one of the main proteins that send itch signals to your dog’s brain, which triggers scratching, licking and chewing.
- Blocks a signal that triggers allergic itch
- Relieves signs of itch such as scratching and licking2
- Allows red, irritated skin to heal2
Cytopoint is not like traditional pharmaceutical treatments for allergic itch in dogs. It is a biological medication (a protein, not a chemical) that works like your dog’s own immune system to block a main protein responsible for triggering allergic itch.3,4
Cytopoint is safe to use in dogs of any age. It can also be used in dogs on many other commonly used medications, or dogs with other diseases.7 In fact, a clinical study showed dogs receiving Cytopoint had no more side effects than dogs receiving placebo (injections without medication).7 And since Cytopoint is not a chemical-based treatment, it does not put pressure on the liver and kidneys.
With Cytopoint, you gain the comfort of knowing every injection is delivered effectively and safely during an office visit. Your veterinarian administers a complete dose that helps relieve the itch for up to 8 weeks.* Cytopoint is a great treatment option that makes it easier for you to manage your dog's allergic itch.
