Adtab - Sand flies - Ticks
AdTab tasty chewable tablets protect your dog and cat in an easy and safe way, effectively for 4 weeks against fleas and ticks.
The effect of AdTab
The active substance lotilaner in AdTab has an immediate and sustained killing effect for 1 month against fleas and ticks. Fleas and ticks must attach to the host and begin feeding to be exposed to the active ingredient. This means your dog or cat can still get ticks, but they will fall off once they ingest the active substance.
