Hi, thanks for using Boop by Petco! Cyclosporine IS distributed in the milk and there have been no studies proving it's safety for nursing puppies. The drug is not recommended that women nurse their babies while on it. I would call your Vet to discuss an alternative. I wish you the best!

These should be fine to be given together. The drug formulary only reports that these two drugs given could decrease the concentration of the cyclosporine in the blood therefore not allowing it to be as effective. Depending on how severe her IBD is, you may want to discuss with your vet whether this is okay for her to take both. I would not adjust your cyclosporine dose without talking to your vet first.

Cyclosporine (Optimmmune) is a very expensive medicine in general. I am afraid there is no cheaper alternative as far as I know. However I found prices on the Internet from 29.95 to over 50$ per tube. So you may want to search for cheaper sources on the net and get a prescription from your veterinarian.

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Jersey. I do not believe it would be a problem from him be on topical cyclosporine eye drops while taking Apoquel. The eye drops would have minimal, if any, systemic absorption. I do not currently have a patient of mine on both medications, but would be willing to prescribe them together. However, if you still have concerns you can call Zoetis, the manufacturer of Apoquel. I hope this information helps!

Hello. Honestly, I recommend either Nordic Naturals or Bayer Free Form Snip Tips. Both of these are highly recommended by veterinary dermatologists, too. You will need to call other veterinarians to see who carries Cytopoint. It is an excellent product & most of my clients love the convenience of only needing a simple injection once ever 6-8 weeks to control their pet's allergies. Thanks for using Boop by Petco.
