A short YouTube video by Dr. Lera Clone discussing the veterinary allergy medication Apoquel. The presenter explains that Apoquel (released 2016) is a fast-acting immunosuppressive drug that reduces itching and some skin inflammation, requires bloodwork every six months to monitor safety, is not effective for ear infections or reliably for food allergies, and should not be used long-term with steroids or Atopica.

Chapters

Hey, guys. Dr. Lara here today. I'm here with Hannah. The purpose of the video today is just to talk to you about a drug called Apiquil. Came out in 2016. It is an allergy medication, works really, really quickly. It is something that is immunosuppressive. So it does require doing blood work on an every six month basis just to make sure that everything is going, going according to plan. It helps with itchiness, it does help with some inflammation on the skin and that kind of stuff. Some, some of the things that it does not work for are ear infections, potentially food allergies. It's not fantastic for kind of hit or miss, so don't really get your hopes up for that. But don't worry, that was one of our hospital cats hitting the video tripod. The other thing to be aware of is that Aproquil cannot be used with steroids or atopica long term. It is something that comes out of the system very quickly and goes out of the system very quickly. So if you have any questions or concerns, please follow us on YouTube. Thanks for watching and have a blessed day.
