A single-dose antibiotic can prevent Lyme disease — if it’s taken within 72 hours of removing the tick. Answer the guideline questions; the prevention dose is at your pharmacy the same day. $49 flat.
The window
Prevention works when the dose is taken within 72 hours of removing the tick — after that, the guidelines say watch and wait instead. The clock is the whole product; that’s why this is an online visit and not a two-week appointment.
Who qualifies
A deer (blacklegged) tick attached roughly 36 hours or more, removed within the last 72, in a high-Lyme state, with no symptoms yet. Our questions walk each gate; “not sure” goes to the physician, not to a no.
If you don’t qualify
We say so and you pay nothing. Watchful waiting has rules too — what to watch, for how long — and you leave with them in hand.
The prescription, precisely
Take 2 capsules (200 mg) by mouth once.
Single-dose prevention per IDSA 2020 guidelines (Nadelman 2001 trial) — for qualifying deer-tick bites in high-Lyme states, within the 72-hour window.
The honest part
The single dose prevents Lyme from a qualifying bite — it isn’t a cure for symptoms that have already started, and it doesn’t cover every tick or every infection ticks carry. Symptoms mean evaluation, and our screen sends you there.
