AdTab: a versatile veterinary drug
The AdTab treatment is specially designed to combat flea and tick infestations in your dog. These parasites can not only cause discomfort to your pet, but also transmit diseases or cause allergies. Thanks to AdTab , quickly restore your faithful companion to a serene and comfortable life. This treatment is the strict equivalent of the veterinary product Credelio , only available on prescription from your veterinarian.
The beneficial actions of AdTab
AdTab has a double action: it eliminates fleas in less than 4 hours after administration, and ticks up to 2 days after their attachment. But this drug is not only curative, it is also preventive. Once ingested, your pet benefits from the acaricidal and insecticidal properties of the treatment for 4 weeks . It is also possible to use AdTab as part of a treatment plan to treat Flea Allergic Dermatitis (FPAD).
The active ingredient in AdTab: lotilaner
Lotilaner is the active ingredient present in AdTab, developed by Elanco Laboratories. This ectoparasiticidal product acts on fleas and ticks already present on your pet's skin, provided that they have started to feed. This drug has a systemic mode of action, as it diffuses into the animal's blood. When the parasites feed on your dog's blood, they ingest lotilaner , which acts on their central nervous system, blocking their neurotransmitters and causing their paralysis and death.
Important Disclaimer
It is important to point out that AdTab is effective only on parasites that have begun to feed on your pet's blood. The risk of disease transmission through the bites or stings of parasites cannot therefore be completely ruled out. If you observe unusual behavior in your dog or various symptoms such as fever, lack of appetite or general depression, do not hesitate to consult a veterinarian .

Manage flea and tick infestations
Fleas and ticks are common external parasites in dogs and represent a real danger to their health. A preventive and curative treatment such as AdTab or Credelio can treat and protect your animal. However, it is important to adopt good practices to ensure long-term protection.
About ticks
Ticks are not insects, but mites. They are particularly active in the spring and hide in tall grass to feed on the blood of mammals. Once attached to your dog, ticks bite the skin with their mouthparts and can transmit serious illnesses, such as Lyme disease or piroplasmosis .
How to prevent tick infestations?
To limit the risks , regularly inspect your dog after each walk during tick season. Ticks tend to hide in areas with thin skin, such as around the ears, on the neck, inside the thighs, or on the abdomen. Quickly removing ticks greatly reduces the risk of disease transmission.
By following these tips and administering AdTab correctly to your dog, you will help maintain his health and prevent flea and tick infestations. Do not forget to consult your veterinarian regularly for advice adapted to your animal and its situation.
