Cyclosporine for Dogs and Cats

Cyclosporine is a versatile medication used in veterinary medicine for its immunosuppressive and anti-inflammatory properties. It is commonly prescribed for both dogs and cats to manage a variety of dermatologic and immune-mediated conditions.

For Dogs:
Cyclosporine is primarily indicated for the treatment of atopic dermatitis, a chronic inflammatory skin condition that causes itching, redness, and irritation. It is also used to manage perianal fistulas, a painful condition involving ulcers or fistulas around the anus. As an immunosuppressant, cyclosporine helps reduce the overactive immune response that contributes to these conditions, providing relief and improving the quality of life for affected dogs.

For Cats:
In cats, cyclosporine is most often prescribed for allergic dermatitis. This condition can manifest as:

• Excoriations (self-inflicted scratches or wounds, particularly on the face and neck)
• Miliary dermatitis (a skin condition characterized by small, crusty bumps)
• Eosinophilic plaques (raised, red lesions often caused by an allergic reaction)
• Self-induced alopecia (hair loss caused by excessive grooming or scratching)

Cyclosporine is also employed as part of an immunosuppressive protocol in cats to manage immune-mediated diseases, reducing inflammation and the severity of symptoms.

By targeting the underlying immune response, cyclosporine provides effective control of symptoms, promoting healing and improving overall skin health in pets suffering from these conditions.
