Protect your dog from fleas and ticks with AdTab Elanco tablets. Find advice on administration, dosage and best practices for preventing infestations.
AdTab treatment is specially designed to combat flea and tick infestations in your dog. Not only can these parasites cause your pet discomfort, but they can also transmit diseases or cause allergies. Thanks to AdTab, you can quickly restore your faithful companion to a serene and comfortable life. This treatment is the strict equivalent of the veterinary product Credelio, available only on prescription from your vet.
AdTab has a dual action: it eliminates fleas within 4 hours of administration, and ticks up to 2 days after attachment. But AdTab is not just curative, it's also preventive. Once ingested, your pet benefits from the treatment's acaricidal and insecticidal properties for 4 weeks. AdTab can also be used as part of a therapeutic plan to treat Flea Bite Allergic Dermatitis (FBAD).
Lotilaner is the active ingredient in AdTab, developed by Elanco Laboratories. This ectoparasiticide acts on fleas and ticks already present on your pet's skin, provided they have started feeding. This medication has a systemic mode of action, as it diffuses into the animal's bloodstream. When parasites feed on your dog's blood, they ingest lotilaner, which acts on their central nervous system, blocking their neurotransmitters and causing paralysis and death.
It's important to stress that AdTab is only effective on parasites that have started feeding on your pet's blood. The risk of disease transmission through parasite bites or stings cannot therefore be completely ruled out. If you notice any unusual behavior in your dog, or any symptoms such as fever, lack of appetite or general depression, don't hesitate to consult a veterinarian.
We also offer the Fogger anti-parasite Assanis diffuser at the best price in our online pharmacy.
AdTab tablets are palatable and flavored for easy administration. You can give the tablet to your dog as a treat, during or after his meal. For optimum effectiveness, repeat administration every month.
AdTab is an effective treatment against ectoparasites in your dog, offering optimal protection for 4 weeks. Carefully follow our veterinarians' advice for proper use, and be sure to consult an animal health professional if you have any doubts or symptoms.
Precautions for use
It is essential not to use lotilaner in the event of hypersensitivity to the active substance or any of its excipients. This contraindication is crucial to avoid adverse reactions in animals.
The safety and efficacy of lotilaner have not been evaluated in puppies under 8 weeks of age or dogs weighing less than 1.3 kg. The use of this veterinary drug in these animals should be based on the veterinarian's assessment of the benefit/risk ratio.
It is important to wash hands after handling the product. In the event of accidental ingestion, consult a doctor immediately, and present the package leaflet or labeling.
AdTab comes in several formulas, adapted to the size and weight of your dog (over 1.3 kg) or your puppy over 8 weeks of age. Each version contains a precise dosage of lotilaner, the active ingredient, to respect your pet's weight. Here are the different formulas available:
