Drug & Food Interactions
The following drugs can potentially interact with oclacitinib: cyclosporine, glucocorticoids, and other immunosuppresive agents. Contact your veterinarian if your pet experiences any unusual reactions when different medications are given together.
Make sure to tell your veterinarian what other medication or supplements you are giving to your pet. Quite often your veterinarian may prescribe two different medications, even if a drug interaction may occur. In this case, your veterinarian may vary the dose and/or monitor your pet more closely.
