Question : I accidentily took 1 5.4mg of Apoquel for my dog. I weigh 237lbs. Will this have an effect on me
Brief Answer:
it should not
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I have looked at the dosing for this medication and 16mg is the dose for 60 lb dog so the dose you took should not have any real effect on you.
However, this is not intended for human use so if you do experience any unusual side effects please contact your doctor as soon as possible.
This drug is for allergies and that sort of medication at usual or low doses often does not have bad side effects.
I wish you the best,
Dr. Robinson
