Fast-Acting Flea Treatment for Dogs and Cats – Capstar (Nitenpyram)
Immediate Flea Relief That Starts Working in 30 Minutes
Capstar (nitenpyram) is a fast-acting flea tablet for dogs and cats.
A single dose of Capstar (nitenpyram) starts killing fleas within 30 minutes and achieves greater than 90% effectiveness against adult fleas within 4 hours for dogs and 6 hours for cats.
This oral flea tablet treats flea infestations for dogs, puppies, cats and kittens 2 pounds of body weight or greater and 4 weeks of age or older.
Capstar kills adult fleas that may cause flea allergy dermatitis.
It is safe to give as often as once a day if your pet gets re-infested with fleas and can be given with or without food.
Ideal for pet owners seeking fast, effective flea control without a prescription.
Key Benefits
- Kills adult fleas before they can start an infestation
- One convenient tablet starts killing fleas within 30 minutes
- If your pet gets re-infested with fleas, you can safely give another dose as often as once per day
- If you have an infestation, Capstar may be administered once a day until the active flea problem on your pet is cured
- Recommended by vets
- No prescription needed
How It Works
Capstar contains nitenpyram, an insecticide that targets the nervous system of adult fleas. After ingestion, the active ingredient is absorbed into your pet’s bloodstream, where fleas ingest it during feeding.
Nitenpyram interferes with flea nerve transmission, leading to rapid paralysis and death. Capstar begins killing fleas within 30 minutes and reaches over 90% effectiveness within 4 hours for dogs and 6 hours for cats.
Capstar kills adult fleas only and does not provide long-term protection or prevent re-infestation, so additional flea control products may be needed.
Indications
Capstar is indicated for the treatment of flea infestations on dogs and cats. It is used to kill adult fleas quickly and provide fast relief from active flea problems.
It is suitable for:
- Dogs and puppies 4 weeks of age or older and weighing 2 lbs or more
- Cats and kittens 4 weeks of age or older and weighing 2 lbs or more
- Pets experiencing active flea infestations
- Pets with flea allergy dermatitis caused by adult fleas
Directions
- Give one tablet by mouth, with or without food.
- Use the appropriate tablet strength based on your pet’s weight.
- For continued flea presence or re-infestation, Capstar may be administered once per day.
- Tablets may be given directly or hidden in food.
- Monitor your pet after dosing as increased scratching may occur as fleas die.
