My cat had no negative side effects to this medication whatsoever. She was also completely flea free within 3 hours! Capstar is amazing! It is only effective for 24 hours, but is a great medication and safe to use in conjunction with most other vet recommended flea preventative. We used it for 3 days in a row and put our cat on a different monthly flea preventative. We also use this on our dogs. Not one of my animals had a negative reaction. I wish this stuff worked longer than 24 hours but it's great to use while you are waiting for the topicals to do their job.
I will keep a package on hand to use when I take the dogs to the dog park or Doggy Daycare to ensure that we do not bring any uninvited guests home in the future.
The reason capstar is "not working" for those reviewers is because the flea eggs are hatching and re-infesting your pets (and you). You have to do it all to get rid of them. Capstar is only meant to kill the adult fleas that are on the pet at the time you give the dose, it will not do anything to control the eggs on your pet or the eggs and larvae in the house. A single capsule laid by a single female flea can have up to 800 eggs in it! And they can live for months dormant in your carpets, couches, etc. So the flea fight is not won in a day or a week. It is a months long process.
It is a lot of work to get rid of fleas but if you are expecting a dose of a single product to do it, you will still have fleas.
The two times my cats have had fleas the Capstar worked perfectly, it killed off the fleas on the cats. However I had to do all of the above work (it takes me two days to completely clean the house and it takes about 30 loads of wash) to actually get rid of the fleas.
I can also say both times my cats got fleas I was not using their flea preventative. I was trying "natural" alternatives and they got fleas within two months. I hate using chemicals but unfortunately I will have to keep using them. It is better than having fleas.

Each time I tried to give tablet in pieces of ham it just fell out his mouth so I crunched it up in another piece and most of it was eaten, I’m not someone that can just pop it down their throat, within 10 mins he was going mental scratching , all I was thinking was aaggghhhhh get him in garden so fleas can jump off outside, although I did use flea bombs around house the next morning . Within about 40 mins he was hardly scratching and that was the first night he slept so restfully, the next day what a difference no scratching, none of the intense grooming we were used to seeing and his fur was sooo soft ,we have also put a doc marten spot on vial , capstar does exactly what it says, he got a clean bill of health from vets and we’re ready for any new infestation , highly recommend this product
Advice: 1. make sure you get the right weight size for your cat / dog.
2. This is a quick fix but does not contain residual. It will unalive the current adult fleas on the animal within 4 hours. You still need to use indorex spray for your home and a spot on moving forward for the animal.
