Your pet's medicine at a glance

Ichmune C 25 Pet Capsule is a medicine used to treat atopic dermatitis (a chronic skin allergy) in dogs. It may also be used to help manage perianal fistula, a painful condition causing inflammation and ulcers around the anus in dogs. In cats, it is used to treat chronic allergic dermatitis.

Ichmune C 25 Pet Capsule should be given exactly as prescribed by your veterinarian. The dose and duration of the treatment may depend on your pet’s body weight or the severity of the condition. Once the condition improves, your veterinarian may reduce the frequency to every other day or a few times per week to maintain control. It should be given at least 2 hours before or after food, as food can affect absorption. For best results, follow your veterinarian’s advice on flea control, skin care, and nutrition.


The most common side effects are vomiting, soft stools, or diarrhea, which are usually mild and temporary. If your pet shows signs of persistent vomiting, weight loss, unusual tiredness, or signs of infection (such as fever or swollen lymph nodes), contact your veterinarian immediately.


Ichmune C 25 Pet Capsule should not be used in dogs under 6 months of age, those weighing less than 2 kg, or in pets with cancer or known hypersensitivity to cyclosporine. It should also not be given to cats infected with Feline Leukemia Virus (FeLV) or Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV). Avoid use in pregnant or lactating animals and in those with diabetes. Do not vaccinate your pet with live vaccines during or shortly after treatment. Let your veterinarian know about all the other medicines your pet is on, as some medicines can interact with Ichmune C 25 Pet Capsule.


Uses of Ichmune C 25 Pet Capsule in pets

Benefits of Ichmune C 25 Pet Capsule for your pet

In Treatment of Atopic dermatitis

Atopic dermatitis is a long-term allergic skin condition that causes intense itching, redness, and irritation. Ichmune C 25 Pet Capsule helps control the overactive immune response behind these symptoms, reducing scratching, hair loss, and skin infections. As the skin heals and itching subsides, the animal becomes more comfortable, rests better, and enjoys an improved quality of life.

In Treatment of Perianal Fistula

Perianal fistula is a painful inflammatory condition around the anus that causes ulceration, discharge, and discomfort. Ichmune C 25 Pet Capsule helps reduce inflammation and immune-mediated damage in the affected area. This promotes healing and reduces pain and irritation. With regular treatment, dogs find it easier to sit, defecate, and move comfortably, leading to better overall comfort and well-being.

In Treatment of Chronic Allergic Dermatitis

Chronic allergic dermatitis is a condition that causes persistent itching, skin inflammation, and lesions. Ichmune C 25 Pet Capsule helps calm the allergic immune response and relieve itching and irritation, reducing scratching, hair loss, and skin wounds. This helps pets feel more relaxed, groom less excessively, and develop healthier coats and behavior over time.

Side effects of Ichmune C 25 Pet Capsule in pets

Ichmune C 25 Pet Capsule does not pose serious side effects and is well-tolerated by pets. In case the side effects do occur, they're likely to subside once the body adapts to the medicine. Consult your pet's veterinarian if these side effects persist or bother your pet. The most common side effects include-

How Ichmune C Capsule works

Ichmune C 25 Pet Capsule works by calming the body’s overactive immune system. It blocks the activity of certain white blood cells called T-lymphocytes, which are responsible for triggering allergic and inflammatory reactions in the skin and anal region. This action helps lower the release of immune chemicals that cause itching, redness, swelling, and skin irritation. As a result, Ichmune C 25 Pet Capsule helps manage atopic and allergic dermatitis and reduces inflammation and ulceration in perianal fistula, allowing the skin to heal and bringing lasting relief from discomfort.

FAQs

What is Ichmune C 25 Pet Capsule and what is it used for?

Ichmune C 25 Pet Capsule is an immunosuppressant used to control atopic (allergic) dermatitis in dogs, to help treat perianal fistulae in dogs, and for certain chronic allergic skin conditions in cats. It calms the immune response that causes itching and inflammation in these conditions.

How long does it take to work, and when can improvement be expected?

Improvement usually happens gradually. Most animals show noticeable benefits within 4 to 8 weeks of daily treatment, though some may respond sooner and others may take longer. If there is no clear improvement after about 8 weeks, consult your veterinarian for re-evaluation.

Can Ichmune C 25 Pet Capsule increase the risk of infections or cancer?

Cyclosporine, the main ingredient of this medicine, can suppress T-cell activity, which can make animals more prone to infections and may allow existing cancers to progress. For this reason, it should be avoided in animals with known cancer or active infections and used with caution when these risks exist. Your veterinarian will carefully weigh the potential benefits and risks before prescribing.

Can my pet be vaccinated while on Ichmune C 25 Pet Capsule?

Live vaccines are not recommended during treatment (and a waiting interval is advised before/after treatment) because Ichmune C 25 Pet Capsule may blunt vaccine responses or raise safety concerns with live vaccines. Inactivated (killed) vaccines also may be less effective; follow your veterinarian’s guidance on timings of vaccination.

Are there important drug interactions I should know about?

Yes. Some medicines can affect how Ichmune C 25 Pet Capsule works or increase the chance of side effects. For example, certain antifungal or antibiotic medicines may raise cyclosporine levels in the body, while some other drugs may reduce its effect. Always tell your veterinarian about any medicines, supplements, or topical treatments your pet is taking so the dose can be adjusted safely if needed.

Do treated animals need monitoring (blood tests)?

Your veterinarian may recommend occasional blood tests to check kidney and liver function, especially during long-term treatment. The type and frequency of testing depend on your pet’s overall health, response to treatment, and how long the medicine is used.

Can cyclosporine be used in pregnant, breeding, or very young animals?

Use in breeding animals, pregnant or lactating dogs and cats, and young animals is generally not recommended unless a clear benefit outweighs risk. Follow your veterinarian’s specific advice for these cases.
