Fast-Acting Flea Control with Capstar
Overview: Capstar provides swift and effective relief from adult fleas, serving as a crucial solution whenever fleas are detected on your cat or dog. This innovative flea knockdown is delivered in a small tablet, ensuring it won't rub or wash off, leaving no residual pesticides on your pet. Widely endorsed by dermatologists, Capstar is instrumental in treating flea allergy dermatitis, reducing the occurrence of flea bites on the animal. With a rapid action that kills fleas within 30 minutes and continues to do so for at least 24 hours, Capstar stands as a reliable choice for immediate flea control.
Important Safety Information: Capstar is safe for use in puppies and kittens from 4 weeks of age and 500g bodyweight, as well as in pregnant bitches and queens.
Active Ingredients: Nitenpyram, the active ingredient in Capstar, belongs to the neonicotinoid chemical class. It binds and inhibits flea-specific nicotinic acetylcholine receptors, interfering with normal nerve transmission and leading to the insect's (flea's) demise. Importantly, Nitenpyram does not inhibit acetylcholinesterase.
Directions For Use: Treatment with Capstar can commence on any day fleas are observed on the animal and can be repeated on subsequent days as needed. Administered orally, with or without food, no more than one treatment should be given per day. In the event of persistent flea infestation, it is advisable to consult the attending veterinarian for further guidance.
