Capstar Flea Treatment Blue Tabs for Dogs and Cats

Cure your small cat or dog of adult fleas with Novartis Capstar. Its active ingredient is Nitenpyram, which belongs to the chemical class of neonicotinoids that bind and inhibit insect-specific nicotinic acetylcholine receptors. Nitenpyram interferes with normal nerve transmission and leads to the death of the insect. Nitenpyram does not inhibit acetylcholinesterase. For dogs and cats 2 to 25 pounds. Should be given orally, with or without food, on any day when fleas are present. Do not give more than 1 treatment per day. If a continuous flea infestation is observed after using Capstar, see your veterinarian. For the first hour after administering Capstar, your pet may scratch more than normal, which is caused by fleas reacting to the product. Contains 11.4 milligrams of Nitenpyram. Please read all label information on delivery. Includes 6 tablets.

The fleas on the pet are in the adult stage. An adult, female flea, living on a pet, can lay up to 2,000 eggs in her lifetime. With CAPSTAR (nitenpyram), almost all adult fleas will die within 4 hours for dogs and 6 hours for cats.
