Vvaan Fix-Etch Oral Solution is a veterinary immunomodulatory medicine containing Cyclosporine USP 100 mg per ml.
Cyclosporine is a calcineurin inhibitor that suppresses certain immune responses by inhibiting T-lymphocyte activity and reducing the production of cytokines such as interleukin-2.
In veterinary dermatology, cyclosporine may be prescribed for selected immune-mediated and allergic skin conditions, including canine atopic dermatitis, when considered appropriate by a veterinarian.
Fix-Etch is supplied in a 50 ml bottle with a measuring syringe, allowing more accurate oral administration of the prescribed dose.
PetsLifestyle & Vɪsʜɴᴜ Dᴜᴛᴛ Tʀɪᴘᴀᴛʜɪ | Pᴇᴛ Exᴘᴇʀᴛ recommends using cyclosporine only under veterinary supervision because appropriate patient selection, dosing, monitoring and treatment duration are important.

HOW CYCLOSPORINE WORKS
Cyclosporine acts primarily by inhibiting calcineurin, an enzyme involved in T-cell activation.

IMPORTANT CLINICAL NOTE
Itching, redness, swelling, hair loss and skin irritation can have many different causes, including parasites, bacterial infections, fungal/yeast infections, allergies and immune-mediated disease.
