Active Ingredients

Nitenpyram, the active ingredient in Capstar™, belongs to the chemical class of neonicotinoids which bind and inhibit insect (flea) specific nicotinic acetylcholine receptors.

Nitenpyram interferes with normal nerve transmission and leads to the death of the insect (flea).

Nitenpyram does not inhibit acetylcholinesterase.

Directions For Use

Treatment can begin on any day when fleas are seen on the animal, and repeated on any subsequent day fleas are seen.

Dosage

Capstar™ should be given orally, with or without food. No more than one treatment should be given per day.

If a continuous flea infestation is observed after using Capstar™, the attending veterinarian should be consulted for further advice.
