Dosage for each animal species, type and duration of use:
Method of administration:
Tablets to be administered with or without food.
Dosage:
The minimum effect dose is 1mg/kg bodyweight with the following recommendations:
If a flea infestation is detected, cats and small dogs with a body weight between 1kg and 11kg should be given 1 tablet of CAPSTAR 11.4mg.
