3. Can I use PROGRAM Flavor Tabs with other flea products?

Yes. Especially during peak flea seasons, your pet may pick up adult fleas. If your pet is on lufenuron products, those fleas will not successfully reproduce, and will die in a short time. But you may choose to use another flea product with lufenuron products to speed up the elimination of these adult fleas.

7. How can I get rid of pre-existing fleas?

Lufenuron does not kill adult fleas, so if there are already fleas on your cat or in your home, it may take a few weeks for these fleas to die off. Rest assured, lufenuron is working, and the fleas on your cat will not successfully reproduce. PROGRAM® (lufenuron) Flavor Tabs® are safe to use with CAPSTAR® (nitenpyram), which gets rid of adult fleas.
