Most prescriptions are delivered within 3-5 days.Atopica is an oral solution prescribed to cats who suffer from allergic dermatitis—a skin reaction caused by contact with an allergen. This is very common in felines with allergies and can cause their skin to become uncomfortably itchy, red and scaly. Atopica targets the root of the problem to help relieve itching, so your companion no longer feels the need to incessantly scratch, rub or lick. Atopica can help provide your cat the relief she needs.
Proudly sourced directly from the manufacturer or their approved distributor. Guaranteed genuine and backed by the manufacturer.

Atopica for Cats is an oral solution that works by calming and soothing allergic skin conditions such as feline allergic dermatitis. It contains cyclosporine which stops the itching by blocking white blood cells from organizing and responding to infection. The oral solution is usually very well tolerated by cats and becomes easily absorbed in the intestinal tract.
Our cat had an allergic reaction to Atopica (which is *very* unusual). But oddly enough, we still had a good experience getting fully refunded by the company that owns/distributes Atopica (so this review is more for information sharing purposes, in case anyone else has a super allergy-prone cat). I noticed about 30 minutes after giving our tabby Atopica, he broke out into a rash/hives in and around his ears. I waited a few days and tried giving it to him again and he had the same reaction. I called out vet and she advised to discontinue using it. My vet was able to contact the manufacturing company to let them know about a cat having had an allergic reaction to the medicine and they were very accommodating and ended up sending me a check with a full refund. Since we couldn't use the Atopica for our cat, we were able to donate it to a local animal rescue (and since it's a very useful and expensive medication, they were very happy to receive and put it to good use with rescue cats).
Love this stuff. It has helped my cat so much with his skin dermatitis. My cat would itch and bite his fur so much and be bald. No matter what we tried, it never helped until Atopica came along. My vet recommend it and it’s pricey but better then a 250 vet bill. Even when we were on steroids, it didn’t heal as fast. Steroids aren’t good long term so we have this as a back up. My cat is 90% better on this within a week or two. Less itching and over-grooming. It’s third time with Atopica. Whenever we have an out break, I get this stuff and it really does the trick. This year, has been a lot of breakouts for him, so we’ve been on this almost every other month. He’s doing so much better.
My Senior Cat occasionally develops a nasty rash on his forehead. He is 13 pounds. My Vet recommended .3ml daily for him. In less than 2 weeks the rash has gone. It's good to know I have a solution for him.
My cat hates the taste of this medication and she is usually good with medication - like will take a pill with just that bacon flavored pill wrap on it without me having to hold her or open her mouth. But this medication she cannot stand. Sometimes if I go near where we keep it she will run and hide. I hate that she hates it so much but it seems to be the only thing helping her gums and teeth issues. Can it be compounded with something to make it more delectable? Anyway I put it at 3 stars because it works but the car HATES it.
My elderly cat has allergies and has to take Atopica several times a week. I was driving to my vet’s office to pick it up. Then, during the pandemic, they were only able to get the small bottles which meant I had to drive to the vet’s office even more frequently. A few eeeks ago, I realized I should try Chewy’s pharmacy-I already use the auto shipping for cat food and flea treatments. I went online, Chewy contacted my vet, and the meds arrived very quickly. I can get the large bottle and no driving!
Amaizing product... my cats life has changed now... he can enjoy his life without a cone
This works. My cat use to lick. I am guessing due to carpeting, just allergies in general.
This medication is the ONLY thing on the market that will actually stop your cat from over-grooming, scratching and biting, resulting in bald spots and sores on their skin. I've tried many other products, and all of them failed. The only problem with Atopica is that it taste bad to your cat, but you will find a way to get him or her medicated if you really want to stop their skin allergy problem.
The medicine has helped my poor fur baby immediately!
My cat, Oscar. started this drug in late May, for refractory stomatitis. It was a replacement for another maker's cyclosporine, which was much more expensive and not as readily available.. So far it is as effective as the other version in keeping the stomatitis symptoms away. Oscar is eating well and not showing any discomfort. I'm very happy Chewy carried this drug at a doable price. It was delivered quickly too. I left off a star because the drug comes with a single oral syringe, very specific size to the bottle insert/opening. After a couple weeks I lost the syringe and had to find a replacement quickly, contacted Chewy (spoke with a very helpful lady) and was directed towards the smallest oral syringes they have (Item #177803). FYI these do not fit the opening but can be pushed against it to create the vacuum needed to get the meds in. Unfortunately there is some leakage doing this. I don't think there is a better option. But the idea of including only one syringe which would be used over 100 times at his current dose, without washing or even rinsing it - as per drug sheet instructions - does not seem sanitary or a good move for a drug that's supposed to reduce immune response. It was my mistake losing the one and only syringe. It is, in my opinion, a manufacturer's mistake including only one syringe for repeated use with no cleaning in between. So - good drug, excellent service from Chewy, gripe about only one dispenser included with drug.
