Program Oral Suspension Flea Control for Cats
Program is an oral liquid for the control of fleas on cats. It works by stopping the flea eggs from hatching preventing the build up of fleas in the environment and on the cat. Program Oral Suspension ampoules are administered monthly. Program (lufenuron) for cats is a monthly oral liquid for the control of flea populations by preventing the development of flea eggs. Program is safe and effective in preventing and controlling flea populations, however it does not kill adult fleas. Program can be given along with other flea preventatives which do kill adult fleas. When a flea bites a treated animal, it ingests the active ingredient which will cause the eggs laid by this flea to not hatch. The normal build up of the flea population on the cat and in the environment is stopped. Each pack contains 6 ampoules which is a six month supply for one cat.
