What is the indication for Canine Atopic Dermatitis Immunotherapeutic*?
Canine Atopic Dermatitis Immunotherapeutic* aids in the reduction of clinical signs associated with atopic dermatitis in dogs.
How does Canine Atopic Dermatitis Immunotherapeutic* work?
Canine Atopic Dermatitis Immunotherapeutic* is a ready-to-use, sterile liquid containing caninized anti-cIL-31 monoclonal antibody (mAb). This mAb specifically targets and neutralizes canine interleukin (IL)-31, which is involved in sending the itch signal to the brain.1 By targeting the IL-31 pathway, Canine Atopic Dermatitis Immunotherapeutic* interrupts the cycle of itch in dogs with atopic dermatitis.
How long does Canine Atopic Dermatitis Immunotherapeutic* remain in the body?
Canine Atopic Dermatitis Immunotherapeutic* remains in circulation for several weeks.2 Like other naturally occurring antibodies and antibody-antigen complexes, it is eliminated via normal protein degradation pathways.
