Administration
| TO ENSURE ADEQUATE ABSORPTION, ALWAYS ADMINISTER Program Flavor Tabs TO DOGS IMMEDIATELY AFTER OR IN CONJUNCTION WITH A NORMAL MEAL. |
Be certain the dog consumes the entire tablet or tablets. As an alternative to direct dosing, tablets may be offered in food. Watch the dog closely following dosing to be sure the entire dose has been consumed. If it is not entirely consumed, redose once with the full recommended dose as soon as possible.
Treatment with Program Flavor Tabs may begin at any time of year. In geographic areas where flea infestations are seasonal, the treatment schedule should begin several weeks prior to the expected onset of infestations. Treatments should continue until the end of “flea season.” If there is risk of exposure to fleas year-round, then treatment should continue the entire year without interruption. Ask your veterinarian for details concerning your geographic area and the most effective treatment schedule for your pet.
Description
The active ingredient of Program Flavor Tabs is lufenuron, a benzoylphenyl-urea derivative classified as an insect development inhibitor (IDI).
As an insect development inhibitor, Program Flavor Tabs do not kill adult fleas but effectively and safely control flea populations on your pet by breaking the flea’s life cycle at the egg stage.
Indications
Program Flavor Tabs are labeled for use in dogs and puppies, four weeks of age and older, for the prevention and control of flea populations.
