What Is Atopica Oral Solution for Cats?

Atopica Oral Solution for Cats is a veterinary prescription medication containing ciclosporin (100 mg/ml) for cats aged 6 months or older. It is used to manage and control chronic allergic dermatitis—conditions such as excoriations, self-induced alopecia, eosinophilic plaques and miliary dermatitis.

Why Use Atopica Cat Solution for Cats?

When cats suffer from persistent skin allergies, traditional treatments may not always work or may require steroids long-term. Atopica offers an alternative by moderating the immune response of the skin, helping reduce itch-scratch cycles and improving quality of life for cats and their owners.

How Atopica Cat Solution for Cats Works

The active ingredient, ciclosporin, inhibits T-lymphocyte activation and various inflammatory pathways. It thereby reduces the allergic response and associated skin lesions. Because it affects the immune response, it may require monitoring for side-effects and interactions.

Indications and Use of Atopica Oral Solution for Cats

Atopica Oral Solution for Cats is indicated for the control of feline allergic dermatitis in cats at least six months of age. Cats must be at least ~2.3 kg in body weight (≈ 1.4 kg per some sources) for safe use.

Dosage & Administration of Atopica Oral Solution for Cats

The usual dose in cats is 7 mg/kg body weight (≈ 0.07 ml/kg) administered once daily until satisfactory improvement is achieved (typically 4–8 weeks). After control is achieved, the vet may reduce frequency to every other day, or twice weekly, using the lowest effective dose.
The product comes in 5 ml or 17 ml bottles (100 mg/ml) to suit varying needs.

Safety, Contraindications & Side-Effects of Atopica Oral Solution for Cats

Atopica Oral Solution for Cats must not be used in cats with known malignant disorders, or with infections such as FIV or FeLV. Because it is an immunosuppressant, there is an increased risk of infections or neoplasia. Common adverse events include vomiting, diarrhoea, weight loss, and reduced appetite. Cats showing persistent weight loss should be monitored for hepatic lipidosis.

Storage and Handling of Atopica Oral Solution for Cats

Store Atopica Oral Solution for Cats in its original container at room temperature. After opening: 5 ml bottle must be used within 2 months; 17 ml bottle within 11 weeks. Always reseal the bottle with the child-resistant cap after use and keep out of reach of children.

Summary of Atopica Oral Solution for Cats

Atopica Oral Solution for Cats is a trusted prescription treatment for cats suffering from chronic allergic dermatitis. With once-daily dosing initially and tapering thereafter, it helps reduce skin lesions, itching and improves quality of life. Available in both 5 ml and 17 ml sizes to match treatment duration.
