According to a 2023 USA Today article, generic versions of Advecta, a topical flea and tick treatment, first became available six years ago. Advecta is a brand-name product in the generic Advecta and PetLock series, which also includes imidacloprid, an active ingredient in many topical flea and tick treatments.
Cheaper equivalents for the blockbuster brands, which both kill and repel pests, have quietly eluded consumers for years. Even today, they're nowhere to be found at many of the biggest pet specialty stores, like PetSmart or Petco. And they're absent from popular online pet pharmacies like Chewy.com or PetMed Express.
Their elusiveness is not by accident, according to a federal lawsuit by one of the generic's makers, but a scheme by the brand-name products' company to block competition.
Filed in the U.S. District Court in Northern California, the lawsuit by Tevra Brands offers a rare behind-the-scenes glimpse of the multibillion-dollar pet medication market, where a few major companies have a stranglehold on pricing. Tevra's suit claims it lost tens of millions of dollars because Bayer Animal Health, a former subsidiary of the German pharmaceutical giant, conspired to maintain its monopoly over the treatment it created.

Regardless, I would ask my vet first, as different flea populations have different resistances (e.g. the fleas in my area are nearly immune to Frontline, but Advantage still works.)

They did offer to send me out the door with this medication as well but that feels normal given I was asking about tick medication and was actively in the market. They didn't push after I said I didn't want to walk out the door with one dose as I was looking to purchase it online for cheaper. They haven't nor do they currently provide me ticks and heartworm medication for my dog but of course you have to put them down to get these prescriptions approved.
I didn't ask more questions about the topical medication other than that since I am biased against these medications in the first place, (begin my personal and most likely ignorant opinion) they just don't look like they would be as effective/have as much coverage. I also was a little iffy about the application process where you can't have dogs near your dog for 24 hours and your dog can't get wet. I mean I'm not spraying my dog with water but what if she licks herself? Would that reduce the effectiveness against ticks in that area or something?
