Adverse Reactions to Flea and Tick Products
How To Report Adverse Reactions to Flea and Tick Meds
Report Them All!. If your dog has swelling, lethargy, diarrhea itching, or behavior changes after a vaccine, you have a reaction you need to report and take action on detoxing your dog.
It is very important to report adverse reactions to the FDA and the manufacturer of the medication that was given.
The FDA continues to monitor adverse drug event reports for these products and encourages pet owners and veterinarians to report adverse drug events. You can do this by reporting to the drugs’ manufacturers, who are required to report this information to the FDA, or by submitting a report directly to the FDA.
