NOVARTIS ANIMAL HEALTH US, INC.
----------
PROGRAM 6 MONTH INJECTABLE FOR CATS
6 Month Injectable for Cats
The six-month injection that controls flea populations in cats.
CAUTION
U.S. Federal law restricts this drug to use by or on the order of a
licensed veterinarian.
DES CRIPTION
PROGRAM® (lufenuron) 6 Month Injectable for Cats is available in two
syringe sizes for
subcutaneous administration to cats and kittens according to their
weight (See Dosage). Each preloaded
syringe is formulated to provide 4.54 mg/pound (10 mg/kg) body weight
of lufenuron. The active
ingredient of PROGRAM 6 Month Injectable for Cats is lufenuron, a
benzoylphenyl-urea derivative
with the following chemical composition:
N-[2,5-dichloro-4-(1,1,2,3,3,3,-hexafluoropropoxy)-
phenylaminocarbonyl]-2,6-difluorobenzamide. Benzoylphenyl-urea
compounds, including lufenuron,
are classified as insect development inhibitors (IDIs).
MODE OF ACTION
Lufenuron, the active ingredient of PROGRAM 6 Month Injectable for
Cats, is an insect development
inhibitor which breaks the flea life cycle by inhibiting egg
development. Lufenuron’s mode of action is
interference with chitin synthesis, polymerization and deposition.
Lufenuron has no effect on adult fleas.
After biting a lufenuron-treated cat, the female flea ingests a blood
meal containing lufenuron which is
subsequently deposited in her eggs. Lufenuron prevents flea eggs from
hatching and developing into
adults and thus controls flea populations by breaking the life cycle.
(See Efficacy.)
INDICATIONS
PROGRAM 6 Month Injectable for Cats is indicated for use in cats, six
weeks of age and older, for the
control of flea populations.
Lufenuron controls flea populations by preventing the development of
flea eggs and does not kill adult
fleas. Concurrent use of insecticides may be necessary for adequate
control of adult fleas.
WARNING
DO NOT USE IN DOGS. A SEVERE LOCAL REACTION MAY OCCUR IN DOGS THAT IS
NOT SEEN IN CATS.
