## Overview

Capstar (nitenpyram) is a fast-acting oral flea treatment for cats weighing 2-25 lbs, starting to kill adult fleas within 30 minutes.

## Description

Product Description Capstar (nitenpyram) is a fast-acting flea treatment tablet for use in dogs and cats that starts killing fleas in only 30 minutes. A single dose of Capstar kills 90% of adult fleas within 4 hours for dogs and 6 hours for cats, ridding your pet of these pesky parasites. Capstar is for dogs, puppies, cats, and kittens 2 pounds of body weight or greater and 4 weeks of age or older. Key Features *Capstar is for dogs, puppies, cats and kittens 2 pounds of body weight or greater and 4 weeks of age and older. Dosing Capstar is available in 2 dosages: * Cats and dogs from 2 to 25 pounds (11.4 mg) * Dogs from 25.1 - 125 pounds (57 mg) Administration To give Capstar tablets, place the oral tablet directly in your pet’s mouth or hide it in food. Use with Other Medications If your pet is currently receiving a monthly or longer-lasting flea preventative medication but still becomes infested with fleas, it is safe to administer Capstar to address a flea infestation. Capstar may also be used together with other products, including heartworm preventatives, corticosteroids, antibiotics, vaccines, deworming medications, and shampoos. Re-infestations Capstar kills adult fleas on dogs and cats, offering quick relief for your furry friend. While Capstar works fast to kill adult fleas and alleviate a current infestation, a subsequent preventative solution is recommended to prevent future re-infestations from any existing flea eggs and larvae in the environment. If you notice more fleas have found their way onto your dog or cat in the days following treatment, continue treating your dog or cat with Capstar with up to one dose per day. Important Safety Information Capstar is safe to use in puppies and kittens 4 weeks of age and older, and 2 pounds of body weight or greater. Always read, understand, and follow the label and use directions.

Review: Not Your Typical Flea Treatment - I was first introduced to Capstar by my veterinarian. Capstar flea treatment for cats is unique compared to other typical flea treatments. It is not meant to be a treat once remedy that provides lasting protection against flea infestation. Instead, it is a fast acting medication that kills live fleas on cats and is intended to be used as-needed. It starts working quickly to provide almost immediate relief for your pet. Dosage is a single small pill which can be crushed up and mixed with your cat’s food. Once administered, within 20 minutes, you will notice that fleas are literally dying and falling off of your cat, leaving him/her free of infestation. If you have multiple cats, this provides a good method of killing off existing fleas all at once so that you can start other long-term treatments with a clean slate. Let’s face it, most flea collars simply cannot effectively treat a live flea infestation thoroughly. But coupled with a product like this, you can be sure that you’re starting off your long-term treatment with a minimal amount of surviving fleas, making it easier for the collar (or other treatment option) to maintain a flea free coat of fur. Each box of Capstar contains 6 tablets, suitable for cats from 2-25 lbs., that means it’s safe to use on kittens. It is safe to use as often as once per day, if needed. This is a unique product that works well at an affordable price. Highly recommended!
Review: Perfect! - I have two cats and both of them used to roam outside as kittens. When my husband and I took them in they were both covered in fleas! We didn't want to use a cream or ointment to get rid of them, as we have a pet rabbit who likes to groom our cats and didn't want the rabbit to get sick. Let me tell you, these pills work like magic. I recommend them to everyone who has cats! They're a little expensive but the smaller pack came with enough for each of my cats. After two or three of the pills your cat will no longer have fleas! The pills are also about the size of a treat, so hopefully if you have a picky cat you can get them to eat this without much trouble. Absolutely perfect and worth the money!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What is the difference between this and blue label Capstar?**
A: There's no difference, they just changed the packaging. I have these and gave a pill to our new kitten who is 4 months old, worked like a charm and there was no side effects. Capstar is the best solution for getting rid of fleas. And they don't pay me a dime for saying so.

**Q: Is this the medicine that makes the cat act nervous like something is biting it after about 20 minutes giving the pill?**
A: One of my cats did have this kind of reaction. He went so crazy it looked like he wanted to jump out of his skin. We gave him a bath after about 30-60 minutes of this behavior, which seemed to have helped a lot. It left him traumatized for a few days though.
Our three other cats who all had pills from the same pack did not have a reaction of this magnitude. They licked for a little while but calmed down.

**Q: does this stuff actually work?  how do you make the cat eat it?**
A: This product starts killing adult fleas on cats within 30 minutes.  It's important to mention if you have adult fleas on your cat, you have immature life stages of fleas in your house and/or yard.  Capstar will only kill the adult life stage so you can also use a topical IGR flea/tick product (one that kills adult fleas, larve, and eggs) along with this to help eliminate the other life states and eradicate the flea burden.  The product can be hidden in a treat your cat likes or you may have to pill him or her so that it's certain they get the entire dose.

**Q: Can this be given in addition to a topical flea solution?**
A: I've used the dog version of this medicine for years and have had nothing but great results.  I have put topical treatment and flea collars on the same day as treatment with the pill and never had any bad reactions.  I have standard poodles, the largest bread, and they have thick, kinky, hair that mattes easily, shampoo treatment just ruins their coats and makes it impossible for us to brush their already difficult hair.  So this product was a godsend for us.  I'm now about to purchase the car treatment for my cats that we rescued.  But to answer your question, absolutely you can use the topical treatment on the same day, I even have called animal poison control to confirm that it was safe, it's two different meds that work in two different ways.

And to the lady who was saying that she would never buy this product because she saw a review of an animal having a seizure from this medicine, you never know that pets medical history or if the person posting even takes their animals to the vets.  The reason it is extremely important to treat our animals with pesticides, or as you say dangerous chemicals, is because our fur babies are more likely to suffer or die from not being treated with these chemicals.  Fleas and ticks cause diseases, can carry heartworms, can make our animals anemic, and then the obvious make them miserable itching and dealing with painful bites.  I'm not trying to sway your mind or put you down in any way, I just don't want others to read your answer and not consider the alternative of not properly taking care of their pets parasites.  My dogs already have skin issues that cause itching and dryness, I couldn't bare to see them miserable with fleas bc I chose to use nothing or homeopathic medicine that does not work, bc we have also tried those and it's a waste of time, effort, and money.  I highly recommend these flea pills and like I said have used them for years along with the topical treatment and flea collars with no side affects other than being flea and tick free ever since we added these pills!
