Dermasporin 100mg/mL Oral Solution for Cats is a prescription oral medication used for the treatment of chronic manifestations of allergic dermatitis in cats (including itch and inflammation associated with allergic skin disease). It contains cyclosporin, a selective immunomodulator that helps reduce the immune-driven inflammation that contributes to ongoing skin irritation.
Use only as directed by your veterinarian. The label-recommended dose of cyclosporin is 7mg/kg body weight, which corresponds to 0.07mL of solution per kg, given once daily initially. :contentReference[oaicite:8]{index=8}
After clinical signs are satisfactorily controlled, your veterinarian may reduce dosing frequency (e.g., every second day, or in some cases every 3–4 days). Treatment may be stopped when controlled, and restarted if signs recur, under veterinary guidance. :contentReference[oaicite:9]{index=9}
Note: Allergic dermatitis signs are not specific and other causes (e.g., ectoparasites) should be evaluated and addressed. Flea control is considered good practice before and during treatment. :contentReference[oaicite:17]{index=17}

Always tell your veterinarian about all medications and preventatives your cat is on. :contentReference[oaicite:31]{index=31}
