Capstar Flea Medicine is a fast-acting oral medication used to eliminate adult fleas from dogs and cats. It contains the active ingredient nitenpyram, which works by binding to specific receptors in fleas' nervous systems, causing paralysis and death within 30 minutes of ingestion. Capstar is available in tablet form and is typically administered as a one-time dose.
Fleas are a common problem for pets, causing itching, irritation, and potential health risks. Untreated flea infestations can lead to anemia, allergic reactions, and tapeworm infections. Capstar Flea Medicine provides a safe and effective solution for controlling adult flea populations and preventing further infestations.
Capstar's active ingredient, nitenpyram, works by targeting the nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) in fleas' nervous systems. These receptors are responsible for transmitting signals between nerve cells. When nitenpyram binds to these receptors, it blocks the transmission of nerve impulses, causing paralysis and ultimately death in the fleas.
