Description
Cytopoint Solution For Dogs
Cytopoint injection for dogs is an innovative medication designed to provide relief to dogs suffering from atopic dermatitis, a common and often debilitating skin condition. Cytopoint helps reduce the itchiness and inflammation associated with atopic dermatitis, allowing dogs to live more comfortably.
Cytopoint Solution works in the same way as your dog’s own immune system. It specifically targets and neutralises one of the main proteins that send itch signals to your dog’s brain that trigger scratching, licking, and chewing. Breaking the itch-scratch cycle allows irritated skin to heal. Unika Sol
This product is administered by monthly injection.
How it works
- Cytopoint is a monoclonal antibody that targets interleukin 31, a cytokine that causes itchiness
- It works like a dog’s immune system to neutralize proteins that signal itch to the brain
- This blocks signals that trigger scratching, licking, and chewing

Contra-indications, warnings, etc
Do not use Cytopoint in cases of hypersensitivity to the active substance or to any of the excipients. Do not use in dogs less than 3kg bodyweight. Lokivetmab may induce transient or persistent anti-drug antibodies.
The induction of such antibodies is uncommon and may have no effect (transient anti-drug antibodies) or may result in a noticeable decrease in efficacy (persistent anti-drug antibodies) in animals that responded to treatment previously.
In cases of atopic dermatitis, it is recommended to investigate and treat complicating factors, such as bacterial, fungal or parasitic infections/infestations (e.g. flea and mange).
It is recommended to monitor dogs for bacterial infections associated with atopic dermatitis, especially during the first weeks of treatment. If no or limited response is observed within one month after initial dosing, an improvement in response may be observed after administration of a second dose one month later. However, if the animal does not show a better response after the second dose, the veterinary surgeon should consider alternative treatments.
The safety of the veterinary medicinal product has not been established during pregnancy and lactation; therefore its use is not recommended during pregnancy, lactation or in breeding animals.
