04 Evidence disclosure
Early laboratory data.
No human proof.
Product materials describe an in-vitro permeation study using a synthetic membrane. That laboratory model was not human skin, a real bite wound or a clinical trial.
No human clinical trials have been conducted on this compounded product. The laboratory results do not establish that it prevents Lyme disease, treats an active infection or replaces standard medical care.

Canadian rules sharply limit public promotion of prescription drugs. Your clinician and dispensing pharmacy provide the complete directions, suitability review, precautions and medication counselling if this product is prescribed.
Health Canada: prescription-drug advertising05 Product questions
Before you start.
Does AfterTick Topical Cream prevent Lyme disease?
No. It has not been shown to prevent Lyme disease. It does not replace prompt medical assessment or prescribed oral antibiotics when those are indicated.
Can I purchase it without a consultation?
No. This is a prescription-only compounded medication. A licensed clinician must first decide whether it is medically appropriate for you.
What does the $119 price include?
The displayed price is for one 30 g prescription fill. Final price, delivery details and any drug-plan reimbursement are confirmed before fulfilment.
Is the prescription guaranteed if I complete the intake?
No. The clinician may recommend another approach or no prescription treatment after reviewing your information.
What if I develop a rash, fever or feel unwell?
Seek prompt medical care. For trouble breathing, facial swelling, fainting, rapidly worsening symptoms or another emergency, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department.
