Details
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.

Returned - Cat was allergic to Atopica
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).
Atopica Comments
Chewy did a fine job of getting the medicine to us. However, the instructions from the vet were to give 0.4 ml to my cat, the syringe included was marked for POUNDS! We had to visit our pharmacy to get a proper syringe. The medicine seems to be working very well so far.
Finally, it works!
After approximately 18 months of other treatments, this one works. The order was easy, the delivery was fast and easy. Our cat has almost all of his fur back.
Total reversal of ALL symptoms
We are not even finished with the first bottle yet and I will say it was 100 percent effective and zero licking.
Atopica For 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.
Dermatology 4 Cats
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.
Allergy Med
It definitely helped more than anything else!!! Would recommend it to anyone that has a pet with allergy issues
Cat hates it but it seems to work
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.
The pharmacy is easy to use.
I purchased my cats meds for about half of what the vet charges.
Good but expensive
This is working for my cat's allergy issues I just wish it didn't cost so much.
