Subcutaneous administration of ciclosporin in 11 allergic cats – a pilot open‐label uncontrolled clinical trial

Abstract

Ciclosporin administered subcutaneously at initial doses of 2.5-5 mg/kg, once daily to alternate days, appears to be an efficacious therapy for feline allergic dermatitis and may be an alternative therapy for cats that cannot be treated orally. Randomized and controlled long term studies which include a larger number of cats are needed to confirm these findings.
