Cytopoint Injections: A New Solution for Itchy Pets
Summer can be a tough time for pets who suffer from itchy skin due to allergies or other conditions. Constant scratching, licking, and discomfort can leave both pets and their owners frustrated. If you’re looking for a safe, effective, and long-lasting solution to your pet’s itching, Cytopoint injections could be the answer.
What is Cytopoint?
Cytopoint is a revolutionary treatment for pruritus (itching) in dogs, specifically designed to target the underlying causes of itching, rather than just masking the symptoms. It is a once-a-month subcutaneous injection that works quickly to provide relief. The treatment is particularly effective for dogs with allergies, including those suffering from atopic dermatitis or flea allergy dermatitis.
How Does Cytopoint Work?
Cytopoint utilises a unique, highly targeted mode of action to help control itching in pets. It works by targeting and neutralising the key proteins responsible for triggering allergic reactions and itching in the skin. This makes it an ideal option for pets with allergic skin conditions, as it addresses the root cause of their discomfort.
Why Cytopoint is a Game-Changer for Itchy Pets
- Fast-Acting Relief: The onset of efficacy occurs within 8 hours of administration, providing almost immediate relief to your pet. Imagine the relief when your furry friend finally gets a good night’s sleep—so do you!
- Long-Lasting Results: Cytopoint is administered once a month, offering consistent relief without the need for daily doses. It’s a hassle-free solution that pet owners love.
- Unparalleled Safety: Cytopoint boasts an excellent safety profile, with field trials showing no significant adverse events compared to placebo treatments. It’s suitable for pets with other health conditions and can be used alongside other commonly used therapies, such as antimicrobials, anti-inflammatories, and vaccines.
- Doesn’t Interfere with Allergy Testing: One of the standout benefits of Cytopoint is that it does not interfere with allergy testing, allowing our vets to accurately assess your pet’s allergies without disrupting their treatment plan.
