Description:
Nitenpyram is an insecticide used in agriculture and veterinary medicine to kill insect external parasites of livestock and pets.
It is a neonicotinoid, which means that it is a neurotoxin that blocks the ability for neural messages to transmit through the
central nervous system of the flea causing (almost) instant death.
Application:
Nitenpyram is used orally with dogs and cats to control fleas. After ingestion, it begins killing fleas within 30 minutes and kills all
adult fleas within 4 hours. The effects of nitenpyram last approximately 24-48 hours.
Nitenpyram is safe to use on puppies and kittens as young as four weeks old if they weigh at least 2 pounds (0.91 kg).
Panting and excitement have been noted in cats within 2 hours of administration. In heavily infested animals, it can
cause extreme itching as the fleas die.
Nitenpyram does not kill insect eggs and has no long-term activity. Thus, it is not effective as a long-term flea preventative.
It is usually used to kill nymph and adult fleas quickly on an infested animal, and combined with a longer term flea
preventative like fipronil or lufenuron to prevent reinfestation.
