## 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: AMAZINGLY EFFECTIVE almost immediately ! - Amazing stuff ! Immediate action, dead fleas start falling out of our cat's dense coat in 30 minutes or less. Seems to take up to maybe 4 hours to completely kill ALL the fleas ! This tablet makes every other fleas remedy a joke. It doesn't stick around for long, or work for long though. It just kills fleas right away, then it's eliminated from the cat's system within hours. VERY VERY EFFECTIVE !!! It seems crazy that it can be used every couple of days, or on mother cats feeding kittens. Evidently it works by interference with an enzyme involved in making fleas shell exoskeleton bodies. Mamals don't have or use that enzyme I guess, so there's no effect on the cat ! But it kills fleas really quickly ! It's gratifying to see them falling out of his fur... Be aware that the fleas might be trying for a last meal or jumping around as they die. Something makes our cat a *litt bit* crazy going after fleas for an hour or so after taking Capstar. Nothing major, but you might notice it. It doesn't last long at all because all the fleas DIE quickly ! No fuss, no muss, just a comfortable cat in 2 hours or less in my experience ! It's PAINFULLY EXPENSIVE, but it works extremely well, and it's a lot less time, mess, and chemicals than an effective flea bath.
Review: I Watched Fleas Fall Off My Cat in Real Time and It Was Both Horrifying and Magnificent - My two indoor cats somehow acquired fleas. I had no idea until the scratching became impossible to ignore and a flea comb confirmed my nightmare. I ordered Capstar immediately, and the results were fast enough to be genuinely startling. Within 30 minutes of getting the tablet into both cats (hidden in a spoonful of wet food, worked perfectly), they were doing what I can only describe as the flea awareness shuffle: slightly agitated, moving around, giving me confused looks. This is normal and brief. What followed was watching dead and dying fleas surface and fall off the fur over the next hour. It is equal parts gross and deeply satisfying. One tablet kills over 90% of adult fleas within six hours of administration. That is not marketing language, it is accurate to my experience. The relief was visible and immediate. Important context every buyer should have: Capstar only kills adult fleas currently on the animal. It does not kill eggs, larvae, or prevent reinfestation. Each dose lasts approximately 24 hours. For a full flea protocol, you will want to pair it with a monthly preventative and treat your home environment as well. Think of Capstar as the emergency first strike, not the complete solution. Tablets can be given as often as once daily during an active infestation, which is genuinely useful. Administration is easy once you figure out your cat's preferred method of deception, whether that is wet food, cat broth, or a pill popper. The six-dose pack gives you enough for a meaningful treatment window. Highly effective for what it does, and vet-recommended. Keep it in the cabinet before you need it.

## 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!
