Frequently asked questions about flea and tick tablets for dogs

Does AdTab act immediately after being given?

AdTab starts to act quickly after ingestion, but its efficacy depends on the mode of action of lotilaner. Parasites must first attach and feed on the dog's blood to be exposed to the molecule. Fleas are then eliminated within a few hours, which quickly reduces itching and interrupts their reproductive cycle.

Why do ticks remain attached after administration?

Ticks must attach in order to ingest the active substance. They therefore do not fall off immediately after the tablet is given. Once exposed to lotilaner, they are eliminated within a few hours. This is normal and ensures the product's efficacy, while greatly reducing the risk of disease transmission.

Is AdTab suitable for year-round use?

Yes, AdTab can be used continuously throughout the year. Fleas can survive indoors even in winter, and ticks remain active as soon as temperatures are mild. Monthly administration therefore helps maintain constant protection and avoid any infestation.

Is AdTab sufficient to fully protect my dog?

AdTab effectively protects against fleas and ticks, but it does not cover internal parasites such as digestive worms. For complete protection, it is recommended to combine this treatment with a suitable dewormer and good environmental hygiene.

Is the tablet well accepted by dogs?

Yes, AdTab is designed to be palatable. Most dogs eat it spontaneously. If your pet is more difficult, the tablet can be given with food to make ingestion easier.

What should be done if a dose is missed?

If a dose is missed, it is recommended to administer the tablet as soon as possible, then resume the usual monthly schedule. A missed dose can lead to reduced protection and encourage a new infestation.

Can AdTab be given to a puppy?

AdTab can be used in puppies if the weight and age conditions are met. It is important to check the manufacturer's recommendations to ensure suitable and safe use.

Does AdTab act on flea eggs and larvae?

AdTab mainly acts on adult fleas present on the dog. By quickly eliminating these fleas, it limits egg-laying and indirectly helps reduce contamination of the environment. For complete management, treatment of the home may be considered in the event of a significant infestation.
