The symptoms your cat is experiencing could be related to various underlying conditions. Treating and controlling these symptoms depends on the severity of your cat’s condition as well as your cat’s weight, medical history, and medications that you have previously tried. It is recommended that you speak with your veterinarian, who is the best source of information regarding your cat’s medical condition. Your veterinarian can recommend the most appropriate treatment for your cat.

Ask your vet about cyclosporine from a place called WedgeWood Pharmacy (https://www.wedgewoodpharmacy.com). That's what my vet is trying. It isn't Atopica specifically but, as the patent is open, it is cyclosporine that they actually mix there. So sorry about your cat! I'm desperate for it too! Best of luck!!

vet prescribed for my cat's possible allergy--excessive grooming could be anxiety--gave her atopica and for 2 days she was very logy--slept all day and night and then vomited her food--third day she had diarrhea--should I discontinue using??
-
Barbara, Atopica's side effects are mainly gastrointestinal problems such as vomiting, anorexia, and diarrhea but are usually seen at higher doses. Gastrointestinal upset may be seen in cats during their first month of therapy. If it is severe and adversely affecting your cat, please contact your veterinarian to determine if discontinuation is necessary. Thank you, VetRxDirect
