📊 How Capstar Works

Capstar contains nitenpyram, a fast-acting insecticide that interferes with the flea's nervous system. Here's the science:

1. Rapid Absorption: Once ingested, nitenpyram is quickly absorbed into your dog's bloodstream
2. Flea Exposure: When fleas bite and ingest blood, they're exposed to the medication
3. Nervous System Disruption: Nitenpyram blocks nerve signals in fleas, causing paralysis
4. Quick Death: Fleas die within 30 minutes to 4 hours of exposure
5. Safe for Pets: The medication is metabolized and eliminated within 24 hours

You may notice: Fleas coming to the surface of your dog's coat as they die - this is completely normal! Brush or bathe your dog after treatment to remove dead fleas.
