The recommended dose of ciclosporin is 7 mg/kg body weight (0.07 ml of oral solution per kg). The frequency of administration should subsequently be reduced depending on the response.

Atopica oral solution should initially be given daily until a satisfactory clinical improvement is seen. This will generally be the case within 4-8 weeks. If an unsatisfactory response is obtained within the first 8 weeks, the diagnosis and treatment should be re-evaluated.

Once the clinical signs of allergic dermatitis are satisfactorily controlled, the product can then be given every second day. In some cases where the clinical signs are controlled with every second day dosing, the veterinary surgeon can decide to give the product every 3 to 4 days.

Atopica oral solution can be given either mixed with food or directly into the mouth. If given with food, the solution should be mixed with a small amount of food, preferably after a sufficient period of fasting to ensure complete consumption by the cat. When given directly into the mouth with the syringe, insert the syringe directly into the cat's mouth and deliver the entire dose. In the case the cat only partially consumes the product mixed with food, administration of the product with the syringe should be resumed only the next day.
