Information
Capstar Oral Flea Treatment for Dogs
Capstar Oral Flea Treatment for Dogs is a fast-acting solution designed to provide immediate relief from adult flea infestations. Formulated with nitenpyram, this oral tablet starts killing fleas within just 30 minutes of administration, helping quickly reduce discomfort and itching. Capstar provides short-term flea control and does not offer ongoing prevention. A single dose kills a high percentage of adult fleas within hours, making it an ideal option when rapid flea control is needed. Suitable for dogs and puppies from 4 weeks of age and weighing at least 2 lbs, Capstar offers a convenient, mess-free way to manage sudden flea outbreaks.
Coverage
- Kills adult fleas quickly
- Helps stop active flea infestations
- Helps reduce further flea infestation by eliminating adult fleas before they can lay eggs
- Provides short-term, on-demand flea control

Capstar works systemically after oral administration. The active ingredient enters the bloodstream and targets fleas when they bite.
- Begins killing fleas within 30 minutes
- Eliminates over 90% of adult fleas within a few hours
- Provides rapid relief from flea-related discomfort
- Effective for short-term control, with repeat dosing possible if needed
