Capstar tablets represent an effective and radical flea treatment that works on your small dog quickly, with a visible effect as early as 15 to 30 minutes after administration. 95% to 100% of adult fleas are killed within 6 hours of administration, and 100% within 24 hours.
Nitenpyram is a member of the neonicotinoid class of active ingredients. It binds to and inhibits insect-specific nicotinic cholinergic receptors. It interrupts nerve conduction in adult fleas, leading to their death. Nitenpyram does not inhibit acetylcholinesterase.
The effect on fleas (Ctenocephalides felis) is visible 15 to 30 minutes after administration to the host animal. This coincides with the fleas' first blood meal, when the effective blood concentration of the drug is reached. Efficacy against fleas is 95-100% within 6 hours of administration, and 100% within 24 hours, with no residual activity.
Clément Thékan veterinary laboratory also offers anti-parasite spray for dogs at the best price in our online pharmacy.
The product has no residual activity. In other words, its duration of action is immediate, which explains why this veterinary medicine is not indicated for the prevention of flea infestations, but only for rapid treatment. To prevent flea re-infestation, we recommend combining it with a repellent collar or the application of a Frontline-type pipette (spot-on) which eliminates immature flea stages. Your vet can draw up an appropriate treatment program.

Precautions for use
The fact that there are no longer any live fleas in the animal's coat does not necessarily mean that there are none left. In the presence of a limited number of fleas, they may be difficult to see.
During the first hour after administration, the host animal may experience more intense itching. This is due to the fleas' reaction to the product.
In very rare cases, cats may experience transient signs of hyperactivity.
Nitenpyram may be administered to pregnant or lactating females.
Studies on laboratory animals (rats and rabbits) have shown no evidence of teratogenic or fetotoxic effects. The product's safety has been demonstrated in pregnant and nursing cats and bitches.
