Product Information

milligrams of Nitenpyram which makes it suitable for puppies and small breed of dogs that have a weight of two to twenty-five pounds. In the case of a severe flea infestation, it may be necessary to treat the animals every day or every other day, until the flea infestation is controlled.

This is why it is advisable to use it in combination with a dog flea shampoo to completely get rid of eggs.If your pet has fleas, even after using Capstar, it’s important to give your home and any bedding your pet uses a thorough clean. I personally try to avoid spot-on treatments, because I've seen many cats have reactions to them (and they aren't as effective, either). Courage has been staying behind one of the monitors on my desk, unless I coax him out, which is where he stayed for about a week after he first came inside. Be sure to tell your veterinarian about any medications ( including vitamins, supplements, or herbal therapies) that your pet is taking. It is certainly not normal for a cat to stay in the exact same spot (that is not a normal "spot") for over two days.

The dosage and frequency of administration are determined based on the dog's weight, age, and overall health status. If you notice any adverse reactions or changes in your dog's behavior after administering Capstar, contact your veterinarian immediately. CAPSTAR Tablets may be used together with other products, including heartworm preventives, corticosteroids, antibiotics, vaccines, de-worming medications, shampoos and other flea products.

The control of flea infestations is important to your pet's health and also reduces the problems associated with these parasites. The flea treatment formula works by adversely affecting the central nervous system of the parasites.

Reports should be sent, preferably via a veterinarian, to either the marketing authorisation holder or its local representative or the national competent authority via the national reporting system. Unlike other flea medications that require monthly doses and involve topical applications, Capstar is an oral medication that is taken once a day or as prescribed by a veterinarian. When using this product, you may notice that your dog or cat will start scratching itself as fleas begin to die. According to the FDA, it is important to determine the ingredients used in pet flea medications as these could cause neurological problems. We have usually used generic medications when they were available, and until this situation, have never had a problem.I can confidently declare that this is one of the most effective products I have found on the market that is able to completely get rid of fleas. For example, if your dog lives in an area with a high flea population or has a history of flea allergies, your veterinarian may recommend administering Capstar more frequently. In some instances, birth defects and fetal/neonatal loss were reported after treatment of pregnant and/or lactating animals.

Rarely reported side effects include increased or decreased energy, itching, vomiting, diarrhea, or lack of appetite. Capstar is a one-hit wonder for an immediate solution to your pet’s flea problem, but it does not provide long-term prevention.Flea larvae spin a cocoon, and, when appropriately stimulated, a young adult flea emerges and jumps onto your pet to continue the life cycle. Always follow your veterinarian's instructions to ensure your dog is receiving the appropriate treatment. But it does not prevent further flea problems and does not target flea eggs or larvae, so you won’t get rid of an infestation that’s already started. Your veterinarian will prescribe the correct dosage and advise you on how often you should give Capstar to your dog. It does not target flea eggs or larvae and does not kill ticks or any other external or internal parasite in cats or dogs.
