Vivaldis Oclapet (Oclacitinib) 3.6Mg Tablets For Dogs
No return & Exchange Available
Oclapet is a veterinary prescription tablet for dogs containing oclacitinib maleate, a targeted JAK (Janus kinase) inhibitor. It may help control itching and skin inflammation associated with allergic and atopic dermatitis in dogs. Unlike broad immunosuppressants, it selectively targets the signaling pathways that drive allergic itch, often providing relief within hours of the first dose. Manufactured in India by Vivaldis Animal Health & Food Pvt. Ltd., Oclapet is available in three strengths (3.6 mg, 5.4 mg, and 16 mg) to support weight-based dosing as directed by a veterinarian.
