These ranges are per kg. Enter your dog's weight to get the precise dose and draw-up volume — unit and concentration math done for you.
Caninized monoclonal antibody that specifically targets and neutralizes IL-31, the primary pruritogenic cytokine in canine atopic dermatitis.
Dogs only. Monthly SC injection. Very safe profile (biological, not chemical immunosuppression). Minimal drug interactions. Some dogs may not respond. Not immunosuppressive in the traditional sense.
Species-specific contraindications and adverse-reaction reports for dog may differ from canine / feline reference data — consult the primary citations listed with each rule.
Why a species-specific page? Lokivetmab pharmacokinetics differ across species: dose ranges, intervals, and route preferences are not interchangeable. Cross-extrapolation from canine doses is unsafe in dog — the rules above are the citations specific to this species, not generic recommendations.
