AfterTick Start consult

Online tick-bite assessment.
A clear next step.

Get your tick bite reviewed by a Canadian clinician. Answer a few questions about the bite and your symptoms. Your clinician assesses the details and decides the appropriate next step.

From assessment to your door.

  1. 01

    Start your assessment

    Complete a 1-minute online questionnaire about the bite, symptoms and your medical history.

  2. 02

    Get clinician review

    A Canadian clinician reviews your questionnaire within 48 hours and determines whether a prescription is appropriate.

  3. 03

    Receive your medication

    If prescribed, an Ontario pharmacy prepares your medication with individual directions. Delivery across Canada is included.

The 48-hour timeframe is for clinician review. Pharmacy preparation and delivery follow if medication is prescribed.

You don’t need every detail to begin.

Share where and when it happened, whether the tick was removed, any photos you have and how you feel. Your clinician considers your symptoms and medical history alongside those details.

No tick or photo? You can still start with what you remember.

Your questions, answered.

Can I get an online assessment after a tick bite?

Yes. AfterTick offers Canadian residents an online tick-bite assessment. Complete a 1-minute questionnaire and a Canadian clinician reviews it within 48 hours. They decide whether a prescription, more information or another care route is appropriate.

What does the $119 price include?

$119 CAD includes clinician review, a prescription if appropriate, one 30 g tube of AfterTick Topical Cream and delivery across Canada. There is no separate clinician-review or delivery fee for this pathway. A prescription is issued only if the clinician determines it is appropriate.

How long does the online assessment take?

The online consult questionnaire takes about 1 minute. A Canadian clinician reviews your submitted questionnaire within 48 hours. If more information is needed, the clinical team will contact you. The review timeframe does not include pharmacy preparation or delivery.

I removed a tick. What should I do next?

Save the tick or a clear photo, record when and where the bite happened, and note any symptoms. You can share these details in an online assessment. Seek prompt medical advice if you develop a spreading rash, fever or other symptoms; do not wait for the online review if you feel unwell.

What if I no longer have the tick?

You can still begin the assessment. Share what you remember about the date, location, removal and likely attachment time, plus any photos and symptoms.

Is a prescription guaranteed?

No. A clinician reviews your symptoms, medical history and the details of the bite before deciding what care is appropriate. They may recommend a prescription, another care option or an in-person assessment.

Should I wait for an online review if I feel unwell?

No. Seek prompt medical attention for a spreading rash, fever, flu-like symptoms or worsening concerns after a possible tick bite. Call 911 for trouble breathing, facial swelling, fainting or another medical emergency.
