Cytopoint is a veterinary injection that treats allergic and atopic dermatitis in dogs. It's a monoclonal antibody that neutralizes interleukin 31 (IL-31), a cytokine that causes itchiness.

How it works: Cytopoint works by blocking the signals that trigger itchiness, allowing the skin to heal.
How it's administered: A veterinarian gives Cytopoint as a subcutaneous injection.
How long it lasts: Each dose of Cytopoint is effective for 4–8 weeks.
How often it can be repeated: Cytopoint can be repeated every 4–8 weeks as needed.
Cost: The price per injection varies depending on the dog's size and weight. The average annual cost of Cytopoint is estimated to be between $1,200–$2,400.
Side effects: Rare side effects include neurological signs like seizures, convulsions, or ataxia, as well as injection site pain or swelling.
Cytopoint provides long-lasting itch relief for dogs with allergic or atopic dermatitis.
