Other Information
PROGRAM Suspension is available in two sizes of packs for oral administration to cats and kittens according to their weight (see Dosage section). The active ingredient of PROGRAM Suspension is lufenuron, a benzoylphenylurea derivative with the following chemical composition: N-(2,5-dichloro-4(1,1,2,3,3,3,-hexafluoropropoxy)-phenylaminocarbonyl)-2,6difluorobenzamide. Benzoylphenylurea compounds, including lufenuron, are classified as insect development inhibitors (IDIs).
As an insect development inhibitor, PROGRAM does not kill adult fleas, but effectively and safely controls flea populations on your pet through a mode of action which breaks the flea’s life cycle at the egg stage.

TO ENSURE ADEQUATE ABSORPTION, ALWAYS ADMINISTER PROGRAM SUSPENSION TO CATS IN CONJUNCTION WITH A NORMAL MEAL.PROGRAM Suspension is administered by mixing into food. If the dose is not entirely consumed, redose once with the full recommended dose as soon as possible. In multiple cat households, each cat should be treated separately to ensure adequate dosing.
PROGRAM Suspension must be administered monthly, preferably on the same date each month in conjunction with a normal meal. Treatment with PROGRAM Suspension may begin at any time of the year. Treatment 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 you veterinarian for details concerning your geographic area and the most effective treatment schedule for your pet.
To maximize benefits from the use of PROGRAM Suspension, it is important to treat all cats within a household. All dogs within the household should be treated with PROGRAM Tablets. Fleas can reproduce on untreated cats and dogs and allow infestations to persist.
PROGRAM Suspension is given orally by mixing into food, once a month, at the recommended minimum dosage of 13.6 mg lufenuron per pound (30mg/kg) of body weight.
