Numelvi for dogs is a prescription-only veterinary medicine containing atinvicitinib, a targeted Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitor used in dogs.
Available in smaller 30 tablet packs, which can be helpful when starting treatment or trialling response before committing to larger quantities.
Numelvi tablets for dogs are used for the treatment of pruritus associated with allergic dermatitis, including atopic dermatitis, when prescribed by a veterinary surgeon.
Atinvicitinib works by selectively inhibiting JAK1-dependent pathways involved in inflammation and itch, helping to reduce clinical signs when used appropriately under veterinary supervision.
Numelvi represents a newer generation of targeted therapies designed to manage allergic skin disease in dogs.
Numelvi can only be supplied against a valid veterinary prescription.

What Numelvi is used for
Numelvi tablets for dogs are used to manage pruritus (itching) associated with allergic skin disease, including atopic dermatitis.
Allergic skin disease is a common condition in dogs and may present with itching, redness, skin irritation, recurrent infections, and discomfort.
Numelvi may be prescribed as part of a broader treatment plan aimed at improving comfort, reducing inflammation, and supporting long-term management of allergic conditions.
Treatment decisions are based on the individual patient, clinical history, and response to previous therapies.
How Numelvi works
Numelvi contains atinvicitinib, a selective Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitor.
JAK enzymes play a key role in transmitting signals involved in inflammation and itch. By selectively targeting JAK1 pathways, atinvicitinib helps reduce the inflammatory signals responsible for pruritus.
This targeted mechanism allows for control of itch and inflammation while limiting broader effects on the immune system compared to less selective therapies.
By reducing these signals, Numelvi can help improve comfort and quality of life in dogs affected by allergic skin disease.
Administration
Numelvi tablets are administered orally as directed by the prescribing veterinary surgeon.
The dose and duration of treatment are based on the dog’s body weight, clinical condition, and response to therapy.
Treatment instructions will be clearly printed on the dispensing label and should always be followed carefully.
Owners should not adjust the dose or frequency unless advised to do so by their veterinary surgeon.
Monitoring during treatment
Dogs receiving treatment for allergic skin disease may require ongoing veterinary monitoring.
Monitoring may include clinical reassessment of symptoms, response to treatment, and overall health status.
Your veterinary surgeon will advise on appropriate follow-up and monitoring depending on your dog’s individual condition and treatment plan.
Important information
Numelvi is a prescription-only veterinary medicine and should only be used under the direction of a veterinary surgeon.
The dose, frequency, and duration of treatment are determined by the prescribing veterinary surgeon based on the individual patient.
