How It Works

Nitenpyram is a neonicotinoid compound that targets the nervous system of adult fleas. After ingestion, it interferes with neural transmission in fleas, leading to rapid paralysis and elimination.

Because it works systemically and quickly, it provides immediate relief from active flea infestations. However, it does not affect flea eggs or larvae, so it is best used alongside a comprehensive flea control program.

Storage Instructions

Cautions

• Consult your veterinarian before use in pregnant or nursing cats
