Is it safe to give my spayed dog Apoquel and amoxicillin together?

Thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach with your question about Kaya. I can't find any drug interactions between cefpodoxime and apoquel. Just double check with her vet, but it should be fine. I hope this helps!

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. Yes. Benedryl can be safely used in conjunction with apoquel. But please give her vet a call to discuss her medications- they may want to increase her apoquel dose or switch to a different medication if it isn’t effective currently.

The drug information for Apoquel states that no specific drug interactions have been reported. From Plumb's Veterinary Drug Handbook: "Marketing information from the drug sponsor states that oclacitinib has been safely used in conjunction with other common medications including vaccines, NSAIDs, antibiotics, parasiticides, anticonvulsants, and allergen immunotherapy (Anon 2013b), but this information could not be found on the drug label." I would be ok with using these two medications together with that information.

It is always best to discuss all medications your pet is taking with your veterinarian who knows your pet's history and medical conditions. There are no known negative drug interactions between apoquel and omeprazole.

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! There is no information in the literature on the use of these medications together longterm. In my experience, this has been well-tolerated and has not caused any adverse events in my patients. Good luck and best wishes!

Yes your pet sure can. Prednisone is a steroid and Apoquel is an immune modulator drug that specifically targets the receptors on your pets skin that cause itching. In fact, right now Apoquel has no drug interactions with any other type of medication, so it can be used along with just about anything. If your pet was not able to be maintained on Apoquel alone, then a low dose of prednisone or Cyclosporine can be used with it. Also I would recommend Fish oil supplements which are natural anti-inflammatory way to help a pet with skin allergies. Any pet formulated fish oil product from your local pet store will do.

Tramadol and apoquel do not have any negative interactions. If the tramadol was prescribed to Dobby then I don’t have any concerns about using it with apoquel. I would definitely encourage you to have that foot evaluated by your veterinarian soon to see if antibiotics would be recommended. Best of luck and I hope he improves soon. Thank you for using Pet Coach.
