Zenrelia™ for dogs is used for control of pruritus associated with allergic dermatitis and control of canine atopic dermatitis in dogs at least 12 months of age. This allergic and atopic dermatitis treatment for dogs comes as a flavorless tablet that helps control itching, reduces inflammation and improves skin lesions.
Active Ingredients: Ilunocitinib
Storage: Store at room temperature between 15 to 25°C (59 to 77°F), excursions permitted between 5 to 40°C (41 to 104°F).
Side Effects: The most common side effects are vomiting, diarrhea and tiredness.
Warnings: Due to the risk of fatal vaccine-induced disease from modified live virus vaccines and inadequate immune response to any vaccine, including rabies vaccines, do not administer vaccines to a dog receiving Zenrelia. Discontinue Zenrelia for at least 28 days to 3 months prior to vaccination and withhold Zenrelia for at least 28 days after vaccination.
Dogs should be monitored for development of infections because Zenrelia may increase susceptibility to opportunistic infections, including demodicosis, interdigital furunculosis, coccidiosis, and pneumonia, and exacerbation of subclinical or uncomplicated infections.
Do not use in dogs with serious infections.
Zenrelia may cause a progressive or persistently decreased hematocrit, hemoglobin and/or red blood cell count without a corresponding increase in absolute reticulocyte count.
New neoplastic conditions (benign and malignant) were observed in dogs treated with Zenrelia during clinical studies.
Consider the risks and benefits of treatment prior to initiating Zenrelia in dogs with a history of recurrent serious infections or recurrent demodicosis or neoplasia.
Do not use in dogs less than 12 months of age.
The safe use of Zenrelia has not been evaluated in breeding, pregnant or lactating dogs.
The safe use of Zenrelia has not been evaluated in combination with glucocorticoids, cyclosporine or other systemic immunosuppressive agents.
Overdoses can be very dangerous. Keep out of reach of children and animals.
Always follow the dosage instructions provided by your veterinarian. If you have difficulty giving the medication, contact your veterinarian.
If you miss a dose, give it as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for the next dose, skip the one you missed and go back to the regular schedule. Do not give two doses at once.
This medication should only be given to the pet for whom it was prescribed.
Disposal of Unused Prescription Medications
- Return unwanted or unused medications to Revival Animal Health in person, or visit www.disposemymeds.org to find a pharmacy near you.
- A secondary method of drug disposal is to remove the unwanted medication from any wrappers or containers and place it in a plastic bag with moist coffee grounds or cat litter. This can be disposed of in the regular garbage collection.
- Please do NOT dispose of unwanted meds down the drain or toilet, as this may eventually find its way into the human water supply.

Disposal of Medical Sharps
- When you're finished with the syringe and needle, do not try to recap, remove, bend or break the needle. This is where most injuries occur.
- Dispose the syringe and needle immediately in a nearby sharps container. All sharps must be deposited in a puncture-proof container. Make sure your storage location is child and animal proof.
- As with all product handling, make sure you wash your hands after handling medical sharps.
Disposal of Sharps Container
- When your sharps container is half-full, sift dry Portland Cement throughout the sharps. Fill the container with water, and rotate until the cement is mixed and the sharps have been distributed throughout the cement mixture. Let cement dry for 24 hours.
- Seal the lid of the container tightly and use duct tape to seal. Label the container "Livestock Sharps" to properly identify the contents.
- Dispose of the containers in accordance with your state's regulations.
Our pharmacy hours are Monday-Friday 8:00 a.m. − 4:30 p.m. CST.
