Properties of Capstar Cat: a fast and targeted antiparasitic action

Nitenpyram, the active ingredient in Capstar, acts directly on the nervous system of fleas, causing their elimination in a short time. The first fleas generally die within 15 to 30 minutes of tablet administration.

Main properties:

• Rapid elimination of adult fleas,
• Treatment suited to sudden infestations,
• Easy administration,
• Suitable for cats and kittens > 1 kg,
• Compatible with other antiparasitic measures: collar, spot-on pipettes, spray, or long-lasting protection (Elanco, etc.).

This veterinary medicine does not protect against future fleas: it only acts on existing infestations. For lasting protection, it should be combined with a long-acting antiparasitic.

Precautions for use: essential points to know before administering Capstar

To ensure the animal's safety, it is recommended to follow these precautions:

• Use only in cats and kittens over 1 kg,
• Do not administer to dogs with this dosage,
• Respect one tablet per dose,
• Repeat treatment only in case of reinfestation,
• Consult a veterinarian in case of pregnancy, lactation or chronic illness,
• Ensure the environment is also treated if the infestation persists.

Capstar holds a marketing authorisation guaranteeing its efficacy and safety level when used according to recommendations.

Possible side effects of Capstar Cat

Adverse reactions are rare, but some animals may experience:

• Transient agitation,
• Itching due to the rapid death of fleas,
• Hypersalivation,
• Mild lethargy.

These manifestations are generally brief. In case of doubt, veterinary advice is recommended.

Comparison: what are the differences between formats and purchase options?

Capstar is available in different dosages to suit cats and dogs:

Capstar 11,4 mg – Cats

• intended for cats and kittens ≥ 1 kg,
• elimination of adult fleas within minutes,
• sold in boxes of several units to adapt consumption according to the level of infestation.

Capstar 57 mg – Dogs

• reserved for dogs,
• similar action on adult fleas,
• larger quantity of nitenpyram per tablet.

Comparison with other antiparasitics:

• Capstar: immediate action, but not preventive.
• Spot-on pipettes (Frontline, Advantage, etc.): long-lasting protection against fleas and sometimes ticks.
