Capstar is not a preventative treatment and will not kill fleas after 24 hours. The product is designed to provide fast relief from fleas and can be combined with regular use of long-acting products such as Seresto Flea and Tick Control collar or Advantage Spot-on, to prevent further infestations.

Capstar uses the active ingredient Nitenpyram to kill fleas on your pet.

Capstar Tablets are for the treatment of flea infestations on cats, kittens, dogs and puppies. Available in two simple pack sizes: Capstar for Small Dogs & Cats under 11kg and Capstar for Large Dogs over 11kg. Capstar for Small Dogs & Cats is suitable for use in puppies and kittens 4 weeks of age or older, weighing over 1kg

Capstar can be taken with or without food and concealed in a treat for those fussy eaters! Place the tablet directly into your pet’s mouth or hide it in food. If you hide it in food, watch closely to make sure your pet swallows the tablet.

Tablets should be administered according to the dosing schedule on the label. You should weigh your pet prior to administration to ensure accurate dosing.

Capstar can be used alongside any other medications that your pet is receiving.

Capstar can be used in puppies and kittens over 4 weeks of age as long as they are over 1kg in weight.

You may notice your pet scratching shortly after giving Capstar. This is caused by fleas reacting to the product.

Capstar will kill fleas for 24 hours from the tablet being given to your pet. To prevent fleas on your pet after this, you will need to use a preventative treatment. Don’t forget, 95% of the flea infestation is present in immature stages within the home. Where you do have an established flea infestation, it is important to treat the whole home with a household flea spray and wash bedding and soft furnishings on a high heat.
