Simparica ( Solaner), is a monthly flea & tick product that is extremely safe. Please ignore all those unsubstantiated remarks online. No product that is known to cause death or seizures would be allowed to be sold for very long. I would definitely continue its use if this is what your veterinarian recommended.
