Sporimune 50 mg/ml oral solution for cats and dogs – what it does
Sporimune 50 mg/ml oral solution for cats and dogs is an immunomodulating medicine. It contains ciclosporin, which helps calm an overactive immune response in the skin. When the immune system is less reactive, there is usually less inflammation and itching.

Dogs with atopic dermatitis, and cats with allergic or immune-mediated skin disease, can struggle with constant scratching, sore skin and repeated flare-ups. With the right dose of Sporimune 50 mg/ml oral solution for cats and dogs, plus good skin-care and parasite control, many pets feel more comfortable and enjoy a better quality of life.

Benefits of Sporimune 50 mg/ml oral solution for cats and dogs

• Helps reduce itching and scratching linked to allergic skin disease

• Supports calmer, less inflamed skin over time

• Can cut down the number and severity of flare-ups when used long term

• Liquid format allows flexible and accurate dosing

• Suitable for both cats and dogs under close veterinary supervision

How Sporimune works

Sporimune 50 mg/ml oral solution for cats and dogs contains ciclosporin. This medicine acts on specific immune cells that drive allergic skin reactions. It reduces the release of substances that cause redness, swelling and itch in the skin.

Because the immune response is better controlled, the skin usually becomes less inflamed. As itching improves, most pets scratch and lick less, which also helps the skin surface repair itself more easily.

Sporimune does not cure the underlying allergy. Instead, it helps manage the signs over the long term. Your vet may combine Sporimune 50 mg/ml oral solution for cats and dogs with other approaches, such as parasite control, special diets or medicated shampoos.

When vets use Sporimune

Your vet may prescribe Sporimune 50 mg/ml oral solution for cats and dogs when:

• A dog has confirmed or strongly suspected atopic dermatitis

• A cat has chronic allergic or immune-mediated skin disease

• Other causes of itching, such as fleas, mites and infections, have been checked and managed

• Long-term control is needed rather than short courses of stronger steroids

Before starting Sporimune, your vet will usually examine your pet carefully and may recommend blood tests or other checks. These help ensure the medicine is safe and appropriate for your individual pet.

How to give Sporimune 50 mg/ml oral solution for cats and dogs

Always follow your vet’s instructions and the label on the bottle. As a general guide:

• Shake the bottle if the label advises.

• Use the supplied syringe or dropper to measure the exact dose.

• Give Sporimune 50 mg/ml oral solution for cats and dogs by mouth, either directly or on a small amount of food, as your vet suggests.

• Try to give it at the same time each day so the level in the body stays steady.

Your vet will explain:

• The starting dose for your pet

• How long to continue the initial course

• Whether and when the dose can be adjusted or the interval between doses can be increased

Do not change the dose yourself, and do not stop the medicine suddenly unless your vet tells you to. If you miss a dose, or if your pet spits some out, ask your vet for advice on what to do next.

Ongoing skin-care and monitoring

Sporimune 50 mg/ml oral solution for cats and dogs works best as part of a full skin-care plan. Your vet may also recommend:

• Regular flea and parasite control

• A suitable diet, sometimes including specific skin-support or allergy diets

• Medicated or gentle shampoos to help the skin barrier

• Avoiding known triggers where possible, such as certain grasses, dusts or foods

• Regular check-ups to assess skin, weight and general health

You should contact your vet if:

• Your pet’s skin suddenly worsens or new areas become sore

• You notice vomiting, diarrhoea, loss of appetite or unusual tiredness

• There are any lumps, bumps or other changes that concern you

Early feedback helps your vet fine-tune the plan for your pet.
