New drugs in veterinary dermatology

This article discusses several different new drugs currently being used in dermatology. Most of the drugs discussed showed some promise as being a useful therapy in veterinary medicine, but a few have questionable efficacy (nonsedating antihistamines). The majority of these drugs have not had any pharmacokinetic or clinical trials conducted on them in small animals. Hopefully, in the future, more studies are funded so that we can determine the clinical therapeutical efficacy and appropriate doses for these drugs.
