FAQs
How quickly does Capstar start working?
Capstar starts killing adult fleas within 30 minutes of administration. You can expect to see 95-100% efficacy within 6 hours and 100% efficacy within 24 hours.
How long does Capstar's effect last?
Capstar is effective for 24 hours. It provides a rapid kill of existing adult fleas but has no residual activity, meaning it does not prevent future infestations. It should be used as an initial treatment followed by a longer-lasting flea control product.
Can I use Capstar for ongoing flea prevention?
No, Capstar is designed for the rapid treatment of existing flea infestations and has no residual effect. For ongoing prevention, you should use a veterinarian-recommended flea control product with longer-lasting protection.
Is Capstar safe for pregnant or lactating pets?
Yes, studies have shown that nitenpyram, the active ingredient in Capstar, can be safely administered during pregnancy and lactation without signs of teratogenic or foetotoxic effects.
What should I do if my pet gets very itchy after taking Capstar?
Increased itching in the first hour after administration is common and caused by the dying fleas reacting to the product. This effect is usually temporary. If you are concerned or itching is severe, consult your veterinarian.
Can I give Capstar to my kitten/puppy?
Yes, Capstar 11.4mg is suitable for kittens and puppies weighing 1-11 kg and over 4 weeks of age.
What if my pet vomits the tablet?
If your pet vomits the tablet shortly after administration, consult your veterinarian regarding whether another dose is necessary, as proper absorption might be affected.
Troubleshooting
Pet experiences increased itching immediately after administration.
This is a common reaction caused by fleas reacting to the product as they die. It is usually temporary and should subside within the first hour. Monitor your pet, but typically no further action is needed.
Pet shows temporary hyperactivity, panting, or excessive grooming/licking.
These are rare, transient side effects. Ensure your pet is in a calm environment. If symptoms persist or worsen, consult your veterinarian.
Pet exhibits very rare neurological symptoms like muscle tremors or ataxia.
Though very rare, transient neurological symptoms have been reported. If you observe any muscle tremors, uncoordinated movements (ataxia), or convulsions, contact your veterinarian immediately for guidance.
Still seeing fleas after 24 hours.
Capstar kills adult fleas present at the time of administration and has no residual activity. New fleas hatching from eggs or jumping onto your pet from the environment will not be affected. It's crucial to follow up with a longer-lasting flea preventative treatment and treat your home environment to break the flea life cycle.
