Common use
Ichmune C capsules is a medicine used to treat atopic dermatitis (a chronic skin allergy) in dogs. It may also be used to help manage perianal fistula, a painful condition causing inflammation and ulcers around the anus in dogs. In cats, it is used to treat chronic allergic dermatitis.
Dosage and direction
Ichmune C capsules should be given exactly as prescribed by your veterinarian. The dose and duration of the treatment may depend on your pet’s body weight or the severity of the condition. Once the condition improves, your veterinarian may reduce the frequency to every other day or a few times per week to maintain control. It should be given at least 2 hours before or after food, as food can affect absorption. For best results, follow your veterinarian’s advice on flea control, skin care, and nutrition.
