What is Capstar?
Capstar is a tablet used to kill fleas on dogs and cats, which begins working within 30 minutes. Capstar will kill more than 90% of adult fleas within 4 hours on dogs and 6 hours on cats, and pets may temporarily scratch as a result of the fleas dying. Capstar is best used with Program Tablets (dogs/cats) or Program Liquid (cats only) to also prevent future flea infestations.
For:
Cats (4 weeks of age and older and 2 pounds of body weight or greater)
Dogs (4 weeks of age and older and 2 pounds of body weight or greater)
Capstar Benefits:
• Starts killing fleas within 30 minutes
• Unflavored tablet
• Even better if used along with Program tablets
• Safe for pregnant or nursing dogs and cats
How it works:
The active ingredient in Capstar flea treatment is nitenpyram, an insecticide. This oral treatment kills adult fleas quickly. Nitenpyram interferes with nerve transmission in fleas, with no adverse effect on your pet.
Cautions:
Pets may scratch as a result of the fleas dying, but it is a temporary condition and not a reaction to the medication itself.
