Nitenpyram Tablets

1. Acute flea infection
Symptoms: Pets may experience frequent scratching, redness and swelling of the skin, hair loss, and residual black flea feces (commonly known as "flea dust"), indicating that fleas have parasitized in large numbers.
Treatment needs: Nitenpyram can quickly kill adult fleas, usually taking effect within 30 minutes after medication, with a killing rate of over 90% within 6 hours.
2. Prevention of Flea Infection
High risk environment: Pets frequently come into contact with outdoor environments (such as parks, grasslands), multi pet households or shelters, and are susceptible to flea infections.
Prevention strategy: Regular use of Nitenpyram (such as once a month) can reduce the risk of flea infection, especially for pets that are intolerant to other long-acting deworming drugs.

3. Preoperative deworming
Surgical requirements: When pets need to undergo surgery (such as sterilization or orthopedic surgery), preoperative deworming can prevent fleas from spreading to the environment or humans during postoperative care.
Recommended plan: Use Nitenpyram within 24 hours before surgery to ensure that there are no adult fleas on the pet's body on the day of surgery.
4. Travel or shelter management
Travel scenario: When traveling with pets, the risk of flea infection may increase due to environmental changes such as hotels and transportation.
Shelter management: Newly arrived pets in shelters must be immediately dewormed to prevent fleas from spreading in the community.

1. Dose selection
Pet type, weight range, specifications, single dose, maximum daily dose
Cats and small dogs, 1-11 kg, 11.4mg, 1 tablet, 1 tablet
Medium sized dogs 11.1-57 kg, 57mg, 1 tablet, 1 tablet
Large dogs weighing over 57 kg, 57mg, 2 tablets, 2 tablets
matters needing attention:
Dogs weighing over 57 kilograms need to use 2 tablets of 57mg medication instead of a single high dose to ensure even distribution of the medication.
Pregnant or lactating pets should be used under veterinary guidance due to limited safety data.

2. Administration method
Direct feeding: Place the pill at the back of the pet's tongue and close the mouth until swallowed.
Mixed food: Crush the pills and mix them into wet food or canned food to ensure complete ingestion by pets.
matters needing attention:
Avoid taking with dairy products or high-fat foods as it may affect drug absorption.
Avoid vigorous exercise within 30 minutes after medication to prevent vomiting and medication failure. 

3. Medication frequency
Mild infection: A single dose of medication is sufficient, and the flea killing effect can last for 24-48 hours.
Severe infection: Take medication once a day for 3-7 consecutive days until the fleas are completely cleared.
Preventive medication: once a month or adjusted according to environmental exposure risks.
matters needing attention:
Continuous use for no more than 7 days may increase the risk of drug resistance.
When fleas reappear, medication can be repeated, but at least 24 hours should be allowed between each use.

4. Handling of Special Situations
Flea eggs and larvae: Nitenpyram Tablets has no effect on flea eggs or larvae, so it needs to be comprehensively controlled in combination with environmental insect repellents (such as spray containing propyl ether).
Multi pet households: All pets need to be dewormed simultaneously to prevent cross infection.
Environmental management: During medication, pet bedding, carpets, and furniture should be cleaned, and flea eggs and larvae should be removed using a vacuum cleaner.
