Uses of Nitenpyram

Nitenpyram is an antiparasitic (neonicotinoid) used to kill fleas on cani and gatti. It has no effect on other external parasites including ticks, mites and lice.

Metodo di applicazione

Oral application supplied as tablets.

Dosaggio e somministrazione

Nitenpyram oral tablets are for use on both dogs and cats. Correct dosing is vital to avoid toxicity, so please weigh your pet before administering and use only as directed.

Tablets should be hidden in food or placed directly into the animal’s mouth. Monitor your pet to ensure the entire dose has been swallowed. If you suspect the tablet has not been swallowed, it is safe to administer a second dose.

For maximum effectiveness, treat all pets in the household at the same time.

Nitenpyram has no effect on fleas in the home or in the pet’s environment. As eggs and immature fleas develop and attach to your pet, it may be necessary to readminister Nitenpyram.
